Rome & the Sword by Simon James

Rome & the Sword by Simon James

The rise of Rome depended on fearsome military prowess, backed up by an unprecedented willingness to accept conquered enemies into society as Romans. This combination of the sword and the open hand built one of the world's greatest empires. This is a study of Roman history and ancient military technology.

'This is not a dry history of swords and spears, for James has managed to create a social history of Rome’s soldiery ' - Good Book Guide
'Written with elegance and economical precision … highly readable … excellent and plentiful illustrations … All in all, this book is an excellent new history of the military rise and fall of Rome, combining both width and depth with accuracy while being pleasant to read and never boring … highly recommended' - Ancient Warfare

Simon James read archaeology at the London Institute of Archaeology, where he also took his PhD. He has been a Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Leicester since 2000.
