Gladius: Rome's Legions in Germania

Thomas Fischer

The Romans in Germania - a Story of War and Peace

For five hundred years Romans and Germanic tribes lived side by side - often as enemies, at times also as neighbours.

Thomas Fischer illuminates their eventful history from Caesar`s conquests to the beginning of the Merovingian Empire. His detailed and informative work is indispensable for all who want to know more about warriors and legionaries, their weapons and equipment, units and battles. The Roman legions were famous for their discipline, the Teutons for their wild courage. But how was a legion organized? And how was it possible that apparently unorganized Germanic hordes could have three legions in Teutoburg Forest?
