What to expect

Praise for Guy de la Bedoyere's Gladius: Living, Fighting and Dying in the Roman Army
Gladius makes for a richly researched, detailed and plausible portrait, warts and all, bang up to date with the latest archaeological finds, and a highly enjoyable read throughout Christopher Hart , Sunday Times

A remarkably precise picture of life in the Roman army - how the men were armed and billeted, what they ate, drank, wore, how they were promoted or punished, how they built their great, straight roads, what they did for sexual relief Daily Telegraph
