- Not enough Tactics, but still a great read!
-
Bought this having listened to the podcast episode talking about it. Loved reading about the Roman Army in this granular detail... my personal tastes would have liked more discussion on tactics, strategy etc... as I'm not much of a reconstruction or a "Life of the Soldier" person, but it was still a great issue that provided a superb overview of a Roman Centuria.Content Images and illustrations Overall rate
Exploring the Centurion as a person though, and how they might have travelled around a lot, was very eye-opening though! Had never thought of them in that way before. (Posted on 9/7/2017) - A must have
-
If you need to know about the century or how to command it, this is a must. It is okay to stand around and look pretty, but this group of work will give you a background to help fill out your knowledge and your impression. A MUST HAVE.

It is an extraordinary and superb work on Roman Centuria and centurions through the existence of the Empire. All the authors have condensed history without missing any crucial subject. Moreover they have given in an understandable manner the life, career, training, tactics and equipment of the Roman legionaries. Finally I found the issue very interesting. I would recommend it with ''flying colours!'' (Posted on 3/15/2014)Content Images and illustrations Overall rate - An excellent resource on the Roman Centurions

This is an excellent booklet. It describes and explains the role and place of the Centurion in the Roman army in a very informed and knowledgeable manner as well as being written in an easy flowing and engaging style. The numerous illustrations are truly superb. I highly recommend this work. (Posted on 10/4/2013)Content Images and illustrations Overall rate
