The Indispensable booklist

[Phaichtos]

I would have to add G.L. Cheesman's The Roman Auxilia (Oxford 1914) - a genuine tour de force that (in my opinion at least) has yet to be bettered. It may be out-of-date, but good scholarship (like fine wine) lasts. A year later he was killed at Gallipoli. Incidentally, this is out of copyright now (by definition, if he was killed in 1915) so why is there no digital edition on the web? A future project for Romanarmy.com, possibly?

Your wish has come true! The book is available on the Internet Archive as of April 5 2010:
