Hibera in terra miles - Francois - 01-27-2009 I just found this very interesting book about the conquest of Hispania by the Roman Republic : François Cadiou, Hibera in terra miles, Les armées romaines et la conquête de l'Hispanie sous la République (218-45 av. J.-C.), Casa de Velazquez, Madrid, 2008. ISSN 0213-9758 This French book is based on the thesis of the author, which I had the opportunity to read, with some changes of course. I didn't read it entirely yet (I just checked the parts I needed for my own researchs) but it seems to be very complete. I quote the summary to give you some idea of its content : Quote:First of all, the book stresses the fact that the strategic and tactical conceptions of the Roman armies, partly shared with those of the Hellenistic warfare, furnished them with the means of waging war overseas more effectively than has been supposed, particularly given that Rome was not immersed in a single, long war in successive phases, but rather conducted repeated but distinct ad hoc campaigns which pursued widely varying goals. Re: Hibera in terra miles - SigniferOne - 01-27-2009 Sounds like a very interesting book and thesis. Do you have any information as to whether it's been translated into English, or if not yet then at what time in the future? Re: Hibera in terra miles - Francois - 01-28-2009 It has not been translated yet and I don't know if it will... Maybe you could check directly the Casa de Velazquez and ask them... |
