Sources on the LEG.X.EQ
Salv?te!
As some of you know, I am gathering re-search for a novel I am currently devising that is based on the experiences of a Centurion (and his legionaries) of the Legio X Equestris.
Unfortunately, I’m somewhat lacking in funds (as I am a student) and can only get my hands on the occasional book to give me sources for my novel. At the moment, my only proper sources (that aren’t on the internet) are:
“Caesar’s Commentaries On The Gallic War & On The Civil War” (2005) Translated by W.A. MacDevitt , El Paso Norte Press, Texas.
“Warrior: Roman Legionary 58 BC – AD 69” (2003) by R. Cowan, Osprey Publishing, Oxford.
“Caesar’s Invasion Of Britain” (1978), P.B. Ellis, Orbis Publishing Limited, London.
“History Of Rome” (1978), M. Grant, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London.
“For The Glory Of Rome: A History of Warriors and Warfare” (2007) by R. Cowan, Greenhill Books/Lionel Leventhal Ltd, London.
“Campaign: Pharsalus 48 BC: Caesar and Pompey – Clash of the Titans” (2006) by S. Sheppard, Osprey Publishing, Oxford.
“Caesar’s Legions: The Roman Soldier 753 BC to 117 AD” (2000) by N.V. Sekunda, S. Northwood and M. Simkins, Osprey Publishing, Oxford.
Are there any others sources that would be useful? I was previously considering to buy "Caesar's Legion: The Epic Saga of Julius Caesar's Elite Tenth Legion and the Armies of Rome," by Stephen Dando-Collins. However, I shant think what fellow Roman enthusiasts would think...
I'm looking for things that will give me accurate, source-based, information on the Legio X Equestris as I want to write something that is as accurate as possible.
Grazie e Buona Fortuna!
Lorenzo.
