The Roman Soldier

This book was first written in 1969, and for that reason I’m sure there are more up-to-date treatises of the Roman military. The reason I was attached to this particular treatment of the subject was its focus. It does not delve into minute descriptions of martial tactics or epic battles; plenty of other volumes accomplish that. Rather, Watson explores the subject of the typical Roman soldier himself and his experiences through recruitment to discharge. The point here is to acquaint ourselves with the man behind the armor and see military service through his eyes.
