The Complete Roman Army by Adrian Goldsworthy

This book is the first to examine in detail not just the early imperial army but also the citizens' militia of the Republic and the army of the later Empire. The unprecedented scope and longevity of Roman military success is placed in the context of ordinary soldiers' daily lives, whether spent in the quiet routine of a peaceful garrison or in arduous campaign and violent combat. Key battles and tactics are described, and there are brief biographies of the great commanders Drawing on archaeology, ancient art, and original documentary sources, this book presents the most convincing history ever published of the Roman army.
