"An Introduction to the Romans Military" - это отличная книга, написанная Conor Whatley для того, чтобы дать представление о римской армии и ее военной истории. Эта книга посвящена анализу классических фабул и рождению римской мифологии о легионах, мечах и копьях с обеих сторон, что позволяет читателю увидеть римскую армию как единую совокупность навыков, объединяющих военные умения и эстетику.
From the author of Conquest: The Roman Legion in the West comes this study of the Legions-the most powerful force in known history. Conor Whately shows how they evolved from humble beginnings to authorship of a global order. 300 years before Christ and miles from the Mediterranean shores, little bands of Romans pillaged valuable Greek colonies and subjected native Celts and Carthaginians to irresistible pressure. Here what started as a collection of lightly armed soldiers turned into moving cohesive communities with rituals; structures; hierarchies; rituals and technologies. Decades of expert research and analysis unite in one comprehensive and exciting volume touching upon every aspect of Legian life: training; weapons and armour; politics; hospitalities; religion; ideology; organisation, tactics and strategy, all encapsulated within a chronology covering pre-Roman forts, passing through the Hierarchy's true ascension under Pompey the Great and stabilising under Augustus, and finally reprising in the clash for the control of the East. Ending with the last emperor's fall, Conor Whatley's work makes an indispensable part of any librarian's reference library reading on the Ancient World and Roman dominance is now accessible through easy reading prose.
