Rating:
Summary: Very informative
Review: It's a must for Republican Rome Research. All around a great reference book.

Rating:
Summary: Very good but not impartial
Review: Like almost all osprey books, this one is extraordinary; the archeological evidence is solid enough, the angus mcbride plates, altough not the best, are quite good and informative.

But after this favorable review why didn't I gave a 5 stars? Because Mr. Secunda is partial...He portrays the Romans like the "bad guys", he doesn't lie about what the romans did, but he forgets to mention that their foes were as vicious (sometimes worst) as the romans were.

All in all is a good book and I recommend it.
