Never heard of that book before.
The cheapest copy I can find costs 68 pounds, so I think I'll pass on that for the time being
Anyway, unlike that book, I don't intend to stop at 31BC :wink:
When I have time, I'll add the specific sources I used for every battle (might take a while though, because it takes a lot of time).
Quote:Which reminds me of an earlier discussion, to make some sort of Roman Army Wiki. This might be the core of it. BTW, all dates before 300 BC are Varronian chronology, which may help you for the problematic date of the Allia.
I already read that, but thanks anyway
Because the 'real' BC dates seem so uncertain due the to different methods used by the Roman historians, I've just used wikipedia for the dates
