Pen and Sword Military, 2024. — 250 p. National armies, as we know them today, are a comparatively recent development. It has been assumed that the Romans had an army similar to the national institutions of advanced, almost exclusively European, powers at the end of the nineteenth century.

The authors start examining the early...

University of Chicago Press, 2020. — 400 p. The Roman army was the greatest fighting machine in the ancient world.

Pen and Sword, 2010. — 208 p. In the late 3rd century BC, while Rome struggled for her very survival against the Carthaginians in the Second Punic War, Philip V of Macedon allied with Hannibal in pursuit of his dream for a new Macedonian empire.

Oxford University Press, 2022. — 336 p. Why did Julius Caesar come to Britain? His own account suggests that he invaded to quell a resistance of Gallic sympathizers in the region of modern-day Kent - but there must have been personal and divine aspirations behind the expeditions in 55 and 54 BCE.

Cambridge University Press, 2023. — 228 p. This book presents a new history of the leadership, organization, and disposition of the field armies of the east Roman empire between Julian (361–363) and Herakleios (610–641).

Salerno, 2018. — 232 p. La storia spesso trascura di raccontare in modo adeguato la vita di uomini illustri che restano singolarmente sullo sfondo degli avvenimenti, e questo è il caso di Ezio, l'ultimo grande generale di Roma, la cui biografia può essere si ricostruita ma con forti lacune che ne lasciano spesso intravvedere soltanto un'arida successione di avvenimenti.

Routledge, 2000. — 344 p. Now available in paperback, The Imperial Roman Army looks at the structure and development of the army between the Republic and the Late Empire, examining why the army has always been accorded such a prominent position in the history of the Roman Empire, and whether that view is justified. The book is divided into three sections. The author first...
University of California Press, 1992. — 304 p. The growth and stability of the Roman world depended, to a large degree, on the continuing success of its armies.

The remarkable success...
Akadémiai Kiadó, 1983. — 332 p. Epithets formed from the names of reigning emperors, which are known to have been awarded in great numbers between the start of the sole reign of Caracalla, C.E. 212, and the period of Diocletian present a source for the military history of the 3rd century which has hitherto been largely unexploited.

Cambridge University Press, 1930. — 352 p. There has recently appeared a book which deals with Scipio's military campaigns in the Second Punic War from the angle of modern war, but which is perhaps not based on a very critical use of the sources. The importance of Scipio's Spanish campaign has not always been adequately emphasised in recent literature or its difficulties...
Pen and Sword Military, 2023. — 208 p. Partly as a result of poor commanders and partly because the Romans had an innate and misguided belief in the invincibility of their legions, the first battles against the Cimbri were a series of disasters. These culminated in the Battle of Arausio in 105 BC when two Roman armies were utterly destroyed. Rome finally realized that their...
Pen and Sword Military, 2021. — 208 p. Legio IX Hispana had a long and active history, later founding York from where it guarded the northern frontiers in Britain.

Brill, 2022. — 234 p. — (The Brill Reference Library of Judaism 72).

Arbor Sapientiae, 2020. — 344 p. — (Militaria 8). Un manufatto non è altro che la proiezione materiale di un pensiero umano, ma quando viene ampiamente condiviso assurge a rappresentare il modo di pensare e di essere della collettività stessa.

Pen and Sword Military, 2022. — 384 p. Religion was integral to the conduct of war in the ancient world and the Romans were certainly no exception. No campaign was undertaken, no battle risked, without first making sacrifice to propitiate the appropriate gods (such as Mars, god of War) or consulting oracles and omens to divine their plans.

L’organizzazione dell’esercito Romano dell’inizio del IV secolo, dopo la riorganizzazione effettuata da Diocleziano, è, sotto alcuni aspetti, simile a quella dei Severi, anche se accresciuta dal punto di vista numerico (si è passati dai circa 350.000 uomini dell’esercito severano ad almeno 450.000 effettivi di quello dioclezianeo); ad esempio...
Pen and Sword Military, 2021. — 336 p. In AD 132 began the bloody struggle between two strong-willed leaders over who would rule a nation. One was Hadrian, the cosmopolitan ruler of the vast Roman Empire, then at its zenith, who some regarded as divine; the other was Shim'on, a Jewish military leader in a district of a minor province, who some believed to be the 'King Messiah'....
