Logistics of an Roman Legion
#6
Indeed, thats why i'm fascinated about this. I'm working in logistics and to imagine all the administration, right quantities, food etc etc it's amazing to think about the fact that Caesar moved so many troops so fast in enemy territory, sometimes it seems even impossible. Or the Roman legions in the teutoburg forest. Their column should have been miles long and maybe you realised you were attacked when you were the last man standing. I've read an autobiograph of Augustus where there was an letter from him request aid from Cleopatra and to see the amount of supplies that were needed by Augustus i've really liked to go back in time and watch this enormous logistics project.

Anyway thanks for the information, i've ordered the book online and can't wait to start reading it.
