Kurzbeschreibung
The complete history of every Imperial Roman legion and what it achieved as a fighting force, by an award-winning historian
In this landmark publication, Stephen Dando-Collins does what no other author has ever attempted to do: provide a complete history of every Imperial Roman legion. Based on thirty years of meticulous research, he covers every legion of Rome in rich detail. In the first part of the book, the author provides a detailed account of what the legionaries wore and ate, what camp life was like, what they were paid, and how they were motivated and punished. Part two examines the histories of all the legions that served Rome for three hundred years starting in 30 BC. The book's final section is a sweeping chronological survey of the campaigns in which the armies were involved, told from the point of view of the legions. Featuring more than 150 maps, photographs, diagrams and battle plans, Legions of Rome is an essential read for ancient history enthusiasts, military history experts and general readers alike.

Some Interesting New Ideas
19. Juni 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a massive study of the Roman Legions. The author covers all aspects, enlistment,pay, training, officers, organization, training, camp life etc. He then goes on to describe the history of each legion, and also the Praetorian Guard, the Equites Singularies etc.. The author is not afraid to take on theories long held by many historians on Legionary origins, such as Mommsen's opinion that Legion 10 Fretensis is not Caesar's famous 10th Legion, the author believes Mommsen is wrong and that it is indeed Caesar's 10th. He also has what is sure to be controversial ideas on Legionary shield emblems, that certainly don't match ideas long held by other historians. Ditto Trajan's Column, the author belives that historians have been mislead by what is on the column as to shield emblems and other aspects of Legion equipment. The last part of the book is an in depth study of the battles that the Legions took part in, it is an excellent military history of the Roman Legions. The book is excellent, and will surely spark a new look at the Roman Legions by historians.

Good book...but not a "Great" book
26. Juli 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I purchased this book expecting to increase my knowledge base. Unfortunately, with the exception of the brief sketches for each Legion's basic history I was somewhat disappointed.
While the author makes several interesting statements, such as one indicating that the Legions transitioned from leather to canvas tents, there are generally no foot notes for the source, which can be frustrating.
There are also some areas wherein the author appears to have made minor mistakes in the equipment and nomenclatures of Legionary weapons and armor. (Not adding to the shield blazon issue already discussed in previous reviews.)
I will agree however, if you are new to the subject, this is a SUPERB BASIC START, as long as it is followed by further reading on the subject by authors such as Keppie, Le Bohec, Goldsworthy, Webster, Watson, and even Parker.
So overall, I would say a three star book, especially in a subject area which is seeing and has seen much more work in the last decade or so due to a resurgence of interest in "things Roman".

a must have
22. März 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Excellent book with detailed information about all the legions of Rome. When they were founded, when they disappeared, what were their accomplishments and much, much more.
It reads very easily, as all the books of Collins do.
A must have for everybody seriously interested in the Roman army.
I have only one criticism: I can't be thrilled by the legions emblems on the shields. What is published in the book is definitely fantasy. I wouldn't mind it too much if the shield were published in black-and-white only, but exactly the same shields are printed in full color as well. That may create the impression those fantasy shields were real.
