The Roman Army from Caesar to Trajan by Michael Simkins

The Roman Army from Caesar to Trajan by Michael Simkins

Although the common Roman fighting men themselves have left no account, much literature has survived from antiquity. The wealth of archaeological finds, plus the study of surviving Roman sculpture has allowed historians to learn much about the nature of the Roman army which conquered an astonishing expanse of territory. Michael Simkins brings all his substantial knowledge to bear on this fascinating subject, covering such topics as army composition, recruitment, training, campaign routine and providing a wealth of detail on weapons, uniforms and equipment.

Michael Simkins is a respected author in the field of Ancient History, and he has written several titles for Osprey Publishing. He has a particular interest in and knowledge of the Roman Army in Britain, and is a keen re-enactor of this period. His interest extends to having personally recreated many of the weapon and armour pieces that the Roman legionnaire would have worn and used at this time.

The late Ronald Embleton was one of the earliest and most talented illustrators to have worked with Osprey. His unique style combined action and realism with meticulous attention to detail, winning him much affection and respect.
