Roman Legion

Newly reprinted, a fascinating description of the imperial Roman army, at a time when it was campaigning against the fierce tribes of Wales. This richly illustrated book describes the soldiers' lifestyle, from enlistment, armor, pay, diet - and of course battle - through to retirement and family. The book is produced in association with the Ermine Street Guard, a group committed to recreating accurately the appearance and drill of the Roman army of the later first century AD.
