Leisure in the Roman Military Community
#4
Quote:I have been reading the books you have suggested here in an attempt at working this out and have encountered the issue you highlighted with regards to otium.
I'd recommend Sara Elise Phang's Roman Military Service (CUP, 2008) for a good overview of the Roman military mentality. She discusses "leisure" and "idleness" versus the labor expected of the military.
