Roman warfare
"Roman Warfare surveys the history of Rome's fighting forces from their inception in the seventh century BCE to the fall of the Western Empire in the fifth century CE. In nontechnical, lively language, Jonathan P. Roth examines the evolution of Roman warfare over its thousand-year history. He highlights the changing arms and equipment of the soldiers, unit organization and command structure, and the war and battles of each era. The military narrative is used as a context for Rome's changing tactics and strategy and to discuss combat techniques, logistics, and other elements of Roman war. Political, social, and economic factors are also considered."--Jacket
