Astin's book 'Scipio Aemilianus' <em>is</em> quite good for this period. Another one to look at is Brunt's 'Italian Manpower 225 BC - AD 14' which is slightly dated now but covers a lot of the big issues in the army during this period. As someone noted above Scullard is also really good on this period and his 'Roman Politics: 220-150 BC' is another one to have a look at. <p></p><i></i>
