Description: "This book provides an introduction to the Roman military from the late republic to the end of antiquity in the west. Drawing on a wide and diverse body of evidence, the literary, but also the legal, epigraphic, archaeological and more, it introduces the reader to three historical Roman soldiers, Titus Pullo from the late republic, Aurelius Polion from the high imperial era, and Flavius Aemilianus from late antiquity who, collectively, help give the book both a thematic and chronological organization. Running from their enlistment to their death and/or retirement, the book charts the life of a Roman soldier both while on duty and in the wider world across the Roman world."--
