March to War with Rome's Legions!
Did you know that the Roman Empire, at its greatest extent, covered an area of roughly 2.2 million square miles stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to ancient Babylon in the east, and from the land of Egypt in the south all the way to Scotland in the far north? Did you know that at the height of its power, the Roman Army was comprised of a standing force of over thirty legions with just under half a million professional soldiers and auxiliaries? How did a small mud hut village on the banks of the Tiber manage to create the greatest military and empire the world had ever seen?
The answer is simple... WAR.
Join award-winning author and historian, Adam Alexander Haviaras, as he shares his research exploring the world of the Roman Army from its creation to its evolution into the most disciplined and brutal fighting force in existence.
Learn not only about the weapons and tactics of Rome's legions, but also about the deeply religious side of soldiers, and the role they played in building the Empire. Through short essays that range from deep dives into research to snippets of background information, A World of War also looks at some of the great campaigns of Rome's legions, as well as some of its most brutal enemies.
Whether you are a longtime Romanophile, or have a passing interest in the Roman Army, this book promises to introduce you to the world of war that the men of Rome were born into.
Buy this book today and find out why the Roman Army truly was the most powerful and effective fighting force of the ancient world.
A World of War: Short Essays on the Roman Army compiles over twenty years of research to take you into the violent, heroic, and superstitious world of the Roman soldier.
This is not an academic work, but rather a book that is accessible to all and designed to engage the reader in a casual and informative way.
It's time to march to war with Rome's legions!
