Good Roman engineering book? - richsc - 08-05-2002
I was very unexpectedly given a present of Goldworthy's Cannae by a retired Army engineer, and wanted by way of thanks to send a good book on Roman and Roman military engineering. What have you folks read that you would recommend? <p>Richard Campbell, Legio XX.

J.G. Landels, Engineering in the Ancient World (3rd ed. London 1997), ISBN 0-09-477280-0. Contains a bit about catapults too. <p>Greets<BR>

I don't know if it's still in print, but it's pretty comprehensive.<br>
