In this book, the authors recount and illustrate the incredible adventure that led a village of shepherds to become the greatest military power the ancient world has ever known. The story of the Roman legions and descriptions of tactics and battles are accompanied by numerous pictures and dozens of stunning color plates.
Bringing together for the first time a work of ours published over twelve years ago, to which many new images of Rome's soldiers have been added. A book of nearly 250 full color pages, for the first time in two separate editions: Italian and English, to worthily celebrate the great glory of Rome!
