Produktbeschreibung

Between AD 69 and 161 the composition of the Roman legions was transformed. Italians were almost entirely replaced by provincial recruits, men for whom Latin was at best a second language, and yet the 'Roman-ness' of these Germans, Spaniards, fostered in isolated fortresses on the frontiers, was incredibly strong. This title deals with this topic.
