Sage (classics, U. of Cincinnati) gives researchers and college students a good first look at the highly charged world of the Roman military establishment from the archaic and Servian period to the Late Republic. Through translations of key texts (many in English for the first time) and a range of primary documents Sage describes the early structure of the military and its development into a "manipulator army" capable of conquest in nearly every sphere. He fully describes the army of the Later Republic, from its development of tactics to its rewards (both honors and booty), punishments, conditions of service, experiences in battle, role in Roman imperialism, and control of the sea. Especially useful are Sage's comments on the economic impact of a standing force. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
