Ursus Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Don't have time for a formal review for this book by Adrian Goldworthy. But I'm halfway through and highly recommend it. A look at the personalities, politics and tactics of Rome's most famous generals. Sure to please most of the people on this site.

Ursus Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Indeed he does. I like his writing style. SImple but informative. Goldworthy makes the point the most successful commanders were the ones who most visibly rewarded the troops for success or punished for failure. Everything in Roman society revolved around perceptions of honor and glory ... I really dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
