Great commanders of the legions of the republic Students of the warfare of the ancient world will find much to engage them in this book which contains descriptions and assessments of the careers of six of the most notable military men who fought in the wars for the expansion of the ancient Republic of Rome. Within its pages are the battles and campaigns of Publius Cornelius Scipio, Africanus, Titus Quincticus Flamininus, Lucius Æmilius Paullus, Caius Marius of Arpinum, Lucius Cornelius Sylla, Felix and of course Caius Julius Caesar. These 'captains of the Roman Republic' fought their wars across the known world of their times, from the burning sands of the east, through northern Africa, into the mountains and dark forests of the wild north and through western Europe and across the sea into the British Isles. This is a thorough study of six military lives with detailed information about the armies they commanded and about the enemies of Rome, in all their exotic variety, against whom they struggled. 'Rome's Great Soldiers' will provide essential insights for every student of the period. Previously published as, 'The Captains of the Roman Republic'. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Autorenporträt
Henry William Herbert, known by his pen name Frank Forester, was an English-born American writer, born on April 7, 1807, in London, England. A multifaceted figure, Herbert made his mark as a novelist, poet, historian, illustrator, and journalist, particularly in the field of sports. He was also highly regarded as a classical scholar, with some contemporary commentators noting his exceptional scholarly abilities in the United States. Herbert immigrated to America in the early 19th century and became well-known for his writings on hunting, fishing, and sports, often blending these themes with a love for the outdoors in his works. Herbert's novels and poetry were influential during his time, but he is perhaps most remembered for his historical works and contributions to the development of American literature. His works often portrayed the lives of ordinary people and addressed social issues, blending both intellectual depth and popular appeal. His legacy continues through his works, which reflect both his literary talent and his deep knowledge of American culture and history.
