LEGIONARY

Romans, your Emperor needs you! Are you ready to become a Roman legionary?

The year is 100 CE and Rome stands supreme from the desert sands of Mesopotamia to the highlands of Caledonia. Far from the glittering centre of imperial power, the humble legionary holds back barbarian hordes and conquers new frontiers. On his armoured shoulders rests the might of Rome.

Combining the latest discoveries with contemporary accounts, this book paints a vivid picture of life in the Roman legions.
