[Jeff Sedlak · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book for a semi-detailed account of the Roman empire. Would recommend this book if you want to get to know more about the Romans and looking to find more areas of interest. Great read.

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 3 out of 5]

A look at the composition, equipment, tactics, and role of the army in ancient Rome and how it helped Rome project power in Europe and North Africa.
