Ancient Warfare Podcast (387): The Roman legion in the second century AD

The second century begins with a great war of conquest, and ends with a civil war between pretenders to the throne, and a war of conquest against Parthia. Between those two extremes, there were changes in equipment, the rise of career officers, and the introduction of campaigns fought with detachments, instead of uprooting the entire legion.

The team discuss the latest edition of the magazine issue 105, A Century of Warfare: The Roman army in the 2nd century AD.
