[split] Psychology of the Roman soldier

[Bryan]

Here is a great article written by RAT's own Ross Cowan:

Roman Warriors: The Myth of the Military Machine

The above link is dead, but 'Roman Warriors: The Myth of the Military Machine' is available again here (scan of the illustrated magazine article) and here (text only blog version). I'll be posting a fully illustrated and referenced blog version when I finish my current Osprey project.

Re. the psychology and motivations of the Roman soldier, I haven't gone through the complete thread, but for the legionary of the Late Republic, there is much of relevance in Arthur Keaveney's The Army in the Roman Revolution. 

Cheers,

R!

Just ordered it! Thanks for the recommendation. Looking forward to your new Osprey book coming out soon!
