Beschreibung

This powerful book examines the ruthless but widely used tactics of mass killing, mass enslavement, and the destruction of cities in Roman warfare. Gabriel Baker convincingly shows that mass violence was vital to Roman military operations as commanders deliberately used brutal strategies to achieve their military objectives and political goals.

Über den Autor

Gabriel Baker holds a PhD in history from the University of Iowa and specializes in Roman and Hellenistic warfare. An earlier version of his biography and the first paperback printing incorrectly listed his affiliation as Georgetown University, which was the publisher's error.
