Neglected for study of the Roman army the navy makes an interesting study in its own right. Although pricey, these Osprey editions provide valuable insights into many aspects of Roman military life. This volume is no exception. The colour illustrations are exceptional, priceless, and offer a powerful visual image of Roman naval life. The ships, the clothing, and the organization of the navy is all here and more. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The Roman Navy, although somewhat overshadowed by the legions, played an important role for the Roman Empire. For the Army to conquer and rule its vast territories, control of the sea lanes was essential. The navy fleets needed to be structured and powerful in order to dominate the trade routes, transport legions and defend and attack against pirates and other enemies. Under Augustus in 31BC, the navy consisted of 800 warships with many being sent to Ravenna and Misenus in Italy, and smaller squadrons to the external coasts and to the major rivers to support land operations. This book provides a detailed re-evaluation of the vital contribution made by the Roman navy to Roman imperial power, covering the organisation of the fleets and the everyday life of the soldiers. Previously unpublished research is complemented by superb colour reconstructions of the uniforms and equipment, making this a central resource on a neglected piece of ancient history.
