Republic (58 BC - 69 AD) and Empire (161 - 244 AD). The Roman Empire experienced its greatest expansion in the period from 31 B.C. to 43 A.D. Its legionaries epitomised the heroic culture of the Roman world. The first part of the volume looks behind the scenes of their everyday lives, their training, their equipment and tactics. The bloody battle of the Teutoburg Forest is also covered. The second part deals with the experiences of the imperial legions, focussing on the Legio II Parthica. As the emperor's personal legion, it became one of the most important units in the empire. Numerous bw and colour illustrations. 128 pages. German edition of two Osprey booklets!
