FREE: The Army Of Caesars By: Michael Grant

The listing, The Army Of Caesars By: Michael Grant has ended.

There are books covering the evolution of Roman army as an insturment of power that have far more information on the development of weapons, doctrines,and leadership than this work by the always great Michael Grant. However, you will find none that has a more concentrated focus on how the Army of the Empire evolved from a means to power for Emperors to a power unto itself and over the leaders and civilization it was meant to serve. Grant deftly traces how economic and social factors spurred the professionals of the legions into realizing their potential political influence over both Emperors and Empire and how this transitional dynamic influenced the course of Roman history. A definite must have for the builder of a classical history library.
