Roman Battle Tactics 390–110 BC (Elite, 172)

As expected clean copy

A good study as to how the early romans were successful in batle. I wargame with ancient Romans and this tactics really do work, if the dice go your way. Well written text and illustrations, recommend this book.

This publication is a concise appraisal of Roman battle tactics. The maps, diagrams and explanations add to the enjoyment of the reader.

A book that actually discusses and pictures what we think were Roman battle tactics. Good drawings. Includes both descriptions and drawings of Roman Legion formations starting with the founding of Rome up through the manipular legion, including the Cavalry and skirmish troops. Includes several descriptions of battles. Does not cover siege engines or siege tactics. Recommended.

An interesting book, the author clearly explains what life was like during Romes reign of Europe and Africa. A great read if you want to have an insight of Roman likestyle.

This is truly geeking out on the inner workings of the early formation of the Roman war machine.

How they became masters of the world

This book would better serve its audience with a title like, "A Brief History of Roman Army Organization". It is brief and there is some good information about how legions were organized. There is very little information about how the units were used tacticly in battles.The book reads like a Master's Thesis or maybe a 1st shot at an introductory treatise by a bored PhD candidate. A book that surely was written as an introductory level treatment of the subject must exhibit at least some level of energy and engender some excitement for a typical reader about the subject being introduced. This pocket write up does neither.If one lacks any familiarity with the history of Roman military organizations this 64pg introduction may be worth the price asked. Otherwise look elsewhere - especially if one is looking for a complete and detailed description of Roman Battle Tactics.
