Product Description

The Roman army was the greatest fighting machine the ancient world produced.

Gladius takes the reader right into the heart of what it meant to be a part of the Roman army through the words of Roman historians, & those of the men themselves through their religious dedications, tombstones, & even private letters & graffiti. 

Guy de la Bédoyère throws open a window on how the men, their wives & their children lived, from bleak frontier garrisons to guarding the emperor in Rome, enjoying a ringside seat to history fighting the emperors' wars, mutinying over pay, marching in triumphs, throwing their weight around in city streets, & enjoying esteem in honourable retirement.
