Product Description
The Roman army is remarkable for its detailed organisation and professional structure. It not only extended and protected Rome's territorial empire which was the basis of Western civilisation, but also maintained the politcal power of the emperors. The army was an integral part of the society and life of the empire and illustrated many aspects of Roman government. This sourcebook presents literary and epigraphic material, papyri and coins which illustrate the life of the army from recruitment and in the field, to peacetime and the community.
It is designed as a basic tool for students of the Roman army and Roman history in general.

From 49 to 32 BC about 420,000 Italians were recruited, and this could not have been achieved without widespread conscription, which was generally unpopular. Read the first page

An excellent collection
22 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
This book prints the most important primary sources about the Roman army and its activities--inscriptions, papyri, excerpts from Vegetius--with helpful commentary and context. Fascinating in its concrete detail, this is the perfect antidote to the overly schematized generalizations about the army that one finds in more popular accounts.

another excellent reference
17 May 2000
Format:Paperback
An excellent way to supplement the standard book on the Roman army by Wilkes, Campbell's reference book makes available at reasonable costs some primary information about the army. Here we have the political and legal views along side those of the commander and common soldier. A great resource for graduates and undergraduates.
