| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Roman military was intertwined with the Roman state much more closely than in a modern European nation. Josephus describes the Roman people being as if they were born ready armed. The book studies the three predominant wings of Roman military: Roman legion which indicated the basic ancient Roman army unit recruited specifically from Roman citizens, Auxiliaries which included the standing non-citizen corps of the Roman army of the Principate, and the Roman Navy which comprised the naval forces of the Ancient Roman state.
