Actium 31 BC: Downfall of Antony and Cleopatra (Campaign)
"This is one of the stronger entries in the campaign series and a well structured and informative look at a key period in Roman history."--Historyofwar.org"Sheppard has managed in my opinion to describe the conflict in a way that readers new to the conflict will find exciting and informative...I highly recommend itespecially to anyone who has an interest in Roman history."--Flamesofwar.com"...a very readable account of one of the most famous and important battles of the ancient world...a very useful book providing information and detail often not included in other publications..."--AncientEgyptMagazine.com"This book by Si Sheppard covers the campaigns of Octavian and the other two members of the Triumverate that led up to the final battle at Actium. We get a good look at the opposing commanders through the eyes of those who wrote about them during this time and how their armies performed. The rest of the book is on the preface battles on land in Greece that led to the final sea battle at Actium and the results of that battle.Throughout the book are the illustrations of Christa Hook as well as photographs of artifacts of the time and the actual location of the battle field, so to speak. This all melds together to make a superb book on the subject. One that I found both interesting and entertaining. I'm sure you will as well and I can easily recommend it to you." -Scott Van Aken,www.modelingmadness.com(August 2009)
