Your Emperor needs you! The year is ad 100 and Rome stands supreme and unconquerable, from the desert sands of Mesopotamia to the misty highlands of Caledonia. But the might of Rome rests entirely on the shoulders of the legionaries, who stand strong against the barbarian hordes, pushing back the frontiers of the empire. This book - a kind of 'unofficial guide' for the new recruit, and part of Thames & Hudson's highly successful 'Unofficial Manual' series - tells you how to get in and get on in the legions, the best places to serve, life in camp, on campaign and in battle, and such things as how to stop your armour going rusty and how to storm a city. It will have immense appeal to all those who enjoy ancient history, but who want to be entertained at the same time.… (meer)

A very fun book. Not the most "in depth" look into the legions, but that doesn't seem to be the point. The author has a good sense of humor and the book is engaging. (

A breezy manual dedicated to the new recruit, to help him into his twenty year enlistment with minimal fuss. A lot of information derived from archaeology and literary research, and well worth the effort, if you wish to sympathize with the other ranks of the fearsome military assemblage. (

Accessible, informative, and amusing. This was a good read.

GYKM | Aug 20, 2014 |

A very readable look at the life of the Roman soldier, from enlistment to retirement, training to battle, and all the little details in between. My knowledge of Roman history is spotty, but the author provides enough context that I'm not lost. (And many of the quotations suggest that soldiers are the same, whatever the era....) (

Matyszak hits the nail on the head again. I haven't read one of his books that I didn't like. This one is, like the others, well-researched, packed with facts, funny and fun to read -- a good book for trying to get people to like history. I do believe he has become one of my favorite nonfiction writers. (
