This detailed examination of the way in which the Roman army operated during a war and how it fought a battle breaks away from existing studies, which mostly concentrate on the army in peacetime, and attempts to understand the army as an institution whose ultimate purpose was to wage war.Adrian Goldsworthy explores the influence to the Roman army''s organization on its behaviour during a campaign, emphasizing its great flexibility in comparison to most of its opponents.
