“The Roman Empire was one of the largest and most successful empires of all time…  Such a broad and diverse empire was difficult to control. This complex and dangerous work was the job of one of the most fearsome forces the world has ever seen – the Roman Army.” This clearly written, beautifully illustrated book gives a full look at the Roman Empire’s legions, their methods and their world. The detailed descriptive illustrations are fascinating: try looking at them as if they were a “seek and find” picture puzzle. Do you see a difference between a general and a centurion?  (Jean B. Bellavance for Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2005-2006)
SUBJECTS:     Rome -- Army.
                      Military art and science -- Rome.
