Historie
This “valuable” summary of every significant battle from Augustus to Justinian I is “an indispensable reference guide for any student of the Roman military” (The NYMAS Review). In a single volume, Roman Empire at War catalogues and offers a brief description of every significant battle fought by the Roman Empire from Augustus to Justinian I (and most of the minor ones too). In lists arranged both alphabetically and chronologically, the information in each entry is drawn exclusively from Ancient, Late Antique, and Early Medieval texts, in order to offer a brief description of each battle based solely on the information provided by the earliest surviving sources that chronicle the event. This approach provides a concise foundation of information to which you can then confidently apply later scholarly interpretation presented in secondary sources in order to achieve a more accurate understanding of the most likely battlefield scenario. In writing the battle descriptions, the author has not sought to extensively analyze the evidence contained in the surviving accounts, nor embellish them beyond what was necessary to provide clarity to the modern reader. He allows the original writers to speak for themselves, presenting a succinct version of what the ancient chroniclers tell us of these dramatic events. It is an excellent first-stop reference to the many battles of the Roman Empire.
