There have been other studies of the reigns of Aurelian and Probus, but until now none has approached the subject from the point of view of military analysis. Yet plenty of material has survived to permit this. The author, Dr Syvanne, has made use of the military treatises that describe the tactics and strategy used by Roman army commanders at this period. He has been able to reconstruct the military campaigns of the two soldier-Emperors and their contemporaries in far greater detail than has ever been done before.

It's a well researched and well written book, informative and entertaining at the same time.
I liked the style of writing and how the book is organised.
Recommended.

Definitely an excellent book that takes a huge topic and breaks it into manageable and understandable parts.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
This was a very factual, detailed account of the Roman Empire around the first century B.C, under tge dictatorship of Sulla.

Very well researched and a great way study Roman history.
