[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 184194, member: 1131"] Greetings! Mmadsen my friend, well, I would say that The Grand Strategy of The Roman Empire is more readable than a dense academic work--but it doesn't take shortcuts on the logic, historiography, or academic scholarship of the details discussed in the book. Having said that--yes it is readable, but considerably more chewy to digest than reading People magazine!:) With Caesar's Legions, yes, it is a Osprey Military special edition, Copyright 2000, with 142 pages, hardcover. This is one of my favorite books on the Roman Army. It covers the evolution of the Roman soldier and his weapons and equipment from 753 BC--117 AD. The color drawings are really beautiful, and they provide excellent views from different angles and approaches to the Roman soldier. An excellent volume!:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
