Oddly enough, the work is poorly illustrated, depicted and unexplained is why she chooses mostly Renaissance pictures and sources the Library of Congress. It would have been natural, given her expertise in archeology, to depict recent research and illustrations from the fascinating and rich historical and archaeological record to portray the soldier's experience in the army.
Roth's Roman Warfare is the better of the two similar volumes between the two.
Hyginus Gromaticus, De munitionibus castrorum, http://www.intratext.com/X/LAT0347.htm; Flavius Vegetius Renatus, Epitoma rei militaris; and the Emperor Maurice, Strategikon, http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/13410.html, remain the only three basic texts of strategy and tactics arising from ancient Roman military practice (pp. 28-31).
