Good Roman engineering book?
#1
I was very unexpectedly given a present of Goldworthy's Cannae by a retired Army engineer, and wanted by way of thanks to send a good book on Roman and Roman military engineering. What have you folks read that you would recommend? <p>Richard Campbell, Legio XX.

I don't know if it's still in print, but it's pretty comprehensive.<br>
