"The Defeat of Rome: Crassus, Carrhae & The East

"The Defeat of Rome: Crassus, Carrhae & The East"
By Gareth C. Sampson

Forgive me if this has been raised already, as I cannot find it.
But this is quite an interesting book, which sofar has given quite a good perspective on this campaign.

I haven't read it all yet, but it is definately worth the read, I believe, if you are at all interested in this period.

I certainly gives a broader perspective of the whole period, rather than just the footnote it usually gets.
Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
