New book club pick: "For the Glory of Rome"
#8
I actually finished this some weeks back, but been a little busy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Easy to read and full of well-chosen examples and detail. I like the idea that the ethos of the Roman soldier was a compromise - er no that sounds too negative - a dynamic tension between an ancient warrior spirit (hunting for glory and heads) and the demands of 'professional' military discipline.
