The Roman army was one of the most successful fighting forces in history. Its organization and tactics were highly advanced and were unequaled until the modern era. This book is the first to examine in detail not just the early imperial army but also the citizens' militia of the Republic and the army of the later Empire. Key battles and tactics are described, and there are brief biographies of the great commanders.
