Ancient Military History

Ancient Military History concentrates on major conflicts involving the Roman Republic: the Punic Wars, Caesar’s campaigns in Gaul and the slave revolts culminating in Spartacus’s rebellion.

The series combines campaign narrative with the political, economic and social pressures behind expansion and resistance. Each volume stands alone, while the four together show how warfare transformed Rome and the Mediterranean.
