Lucent Library of Historical Eras - The Roman Army: An Instrument of Power

This fascinating study by a widely published scholar chronicles Rome's long series of conquests -- from the subjugation of its Italian neighbors, to the Punic Wars against Carthage, to the absorption of the Greek city-states and kingdoms, to Caesar's conquest of Gaul, to the acquisition of Britain. The story of these conquests is richly augmented by detailed descriptions and analyses of changing and evolving military weapons, armor, formations, tactics, and strategies.
