Unique in so many ways, the Roman Army was the most feared fighting force of the ancient world, partly because of its outstanding discipline and organisation, but also because the warriors who made up its legendary legions were well trained, experienced, professional soldiers. This highly informed and well researched manual gets to grips with what we know about the men of the legions and their unique fighting formations and battle tactics. It includes fascinating detail on what they wore and carried, how they built their night camps and fortified their garrisons, and what weapons they fought with.
