About This Item
Osprey Publishing. Very Good. 2008. Paperback. 1846032628 . Light shelfwear. Scholar's name to titlepage (Robert Brown). ; Focusing on the organizational changes in the Roman Army during the Civil Wars, Nic Fields examines the role played by Caius Marius and his far-reaching reforms, which included having professional volunteers from the lowest social class enter the army in search of the possibility of plunder. He goes on to examine the consequences of encouraging these soldiers to follow their commanders without question, which broke the allegiance of the army to the Roman state, a trend that gave rise to militarily ambitious men such as Sulla, Pompeius, Caesar, Antonius, and Octavian. ; Battle Orders 34; 96 pages .
