Specifications
In the late 3rd century BC, while Rome was struggling for its survival against the Carthaginians in the Second Punic War, Philip V of Macedonia was aligning with Hannibal in his pursuit to create a new Macedonian empire. Once Carthage was defeated, the Roman army for the first time fully focused on the Greek world.
The stage was set for the clash of two of the most successful military systems of the ancient era, the Roman legions against the Macedonian phalanx. Although sorely tested, the legions emerged victorious from the epic battles of Cynoscephalae and Pydna. The homeland of Alexander the Great fell under Roman rule, along with the rest of Greece, the cradle of Western Civilization, which had a profound impact on Roman culture and society.
Philip Matyszak offers a clear narrative of the course of these wars, explaining how the Roman war machine managed to confront fierce new enemies and the challenges of unknown terrain. Specially commissioned color illustrations bring to life the main types of troops, with methodically researched details.
