Rezensionen

"The central position the army occupied in Imperial Rome is self-evident. This is reflected in the amount of research that has been devoted to the Roman army in the Imperial period. Far less is known about the army during the Republican period. Pearson seeks to remedy this imbalance in the unspectacular, though vitally important, sphere of military administration... The real virtue of this book is its attention to detailed argument. There is little in it that one could find fault with." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
