Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. Reprint of 1956 revised edition (1928 original). Although outdated by more recent works (Webster / Bohec), this is still an interesting book and was the first on the subject in English. The book is very readable for the most part, but there are also some really tedious parts about minutiae of when legions were formed (the author is refuting ideas from other authors). Also, the book contains numerous Latin and Greek quotes that are not translated which will be frustrating to those who don't know Greek (like me), or Latin. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"The period selected for study starts with the Marian army reforms and ends with the accession of Septimius Severus. My main purpose has been to examine the internal organization of the legions, the areas from which they drew their recruits, and the conditions under which their soldiers served and were discharged. An attempt has also been made to trace the movements of the legions in the first two centuries of the Principate, the circumstances in which new units were raised, and the normal orders of battle and march, while in the introduction the stages by which the army developed in the pre-Marian Republic have been sketched in outline"--Preface.
