Legions and Veterans:

Roman Army Papers, 1971-2000
Front Cover
0 Reviews
Franz Steiner Verlag, 2000 - History - 339 pages
It was RomeAes army which conquered first Italy, then a wide geographical area centred on the Mediterranean basin. Transition and change are important themes in this collection of papers, transition not only from the short-service army of the Roman Republic to a long-serving army of professionals, but also from an army of Romans to an army defending Rome, a city the soldiers were pledged to defend but which few would ever visit. The legions came increasingly to be recruited from the provinces in which they were stationed. On retirement, they often received land, initially in Italy but later in the provinces, which formed the basis for an upward move in society. A wide variety of archaeological, epigraphic, sculptural, numismatic and literary evidence is deployed. "aeine wesentliche Bereicherung des jeweiligen Forschungsgebietesa" Historische Zeitschrift
