Legio

More about the book

Focusing on the Roman Legions, the author meticulously recounts their histories through the lens of Caesar's own narratives from his campaigns in Gaul and North Africa, as well as Appian's Civil War accounts. By resisting the urge to speculate, the book provides a clear and direct history of the legions, particularly those under Caesar and the Imperial Legions I to XXII. It also explores legions raised by later emperors and includes an appendix that organizes additional legion information and a guide to relevant Roman cities, villages, and forts.
