Has anyone seen that new book called the Complete Roman Legions (not in the above list)? It definitely looks the business--simply by judging the published photo of Zeugma! That photo is enough to make me buy the book.

 

I haven't seen this one so far - not published until 1 October 2012 apparently - but it may be interesting to comapre with Dando-Collins 'Legions of Rome' (2010) which I am currently reviewing as both effectively claim to provide the 'first definitive history of every Roman legion'.

That Legions of Rome book is nowhere near as comprehensive as the aforementioned. It's definitely out in the shops already as of Monday... the cover is poor, but the content looks incredible
