description: Rome rose from a small, backward Italian city-state to a mighty empire encompassing the entire Mediterranean world. Integral to this process was the Roman army, which became a well-oiled machine that rolled over and crushed enemy after enemy. An expert on ancient Rome here traces the evolution of the Roman military -- including its weapons, armor, strategies, and tactics -- over Rome's phenomenal twelve-hundred-year life span.
