    The people there are quite "enthusiastic" about their love of the Roman army.

    As for a good book, there's The Army of the Caesars by Michael Grant

    I suggest reading Isaac Asimov's (the historian, not the science fiction author) The Roman Republic, if you can find it. (It's rather hard to find).

    Once you know a bit more, look up and read Plutarch's Lives or Suetonius' Twelve Caesars. They're both very good reads, if you can get through the often dense language of two thousand year old men.

    Well I know of a Roman encyclopedia, which is visually stunning containing thousands of photographs of ruins throughout the Roman Empire, my favorite are personally Pompeii due to the condition it was preserved in and the . If you're looking for detail information about it's architecture and culture than try it out, if you are looking for military information than I suggest reading books by good ol' Caesar himself.

    The book I mentioned is called: Ancient Rome : history of a civilization that ruled the world
    I wear the chain I forged in life, I made it link by link and yard by yard. Is it's pattern strange to you? How would you know of length of the strong coil you bear yourself? It was as full, as heavy, and as long as this seven christmas eve's ago, you have labored on it since, it's a ponderous chain!
