Author Description

Build. March. Conquer. Step into the ranks of a Roman legion and feel the weight of a dolabra-ready pack, the snap of survey poles, and the disciplined rhythm that could turn wild frontier into fortified ground before sunset. Inside you'll dissect how ordinary soldiers executed six-hour marching camps, ten-day timber bridges, siege ramps, roads, and supply depots-all explained with clear diagrams, primary sources, and modern engineering insight that reveals why labor, not luck, made Rome unstoppable. Perfect for history devotees, reenactors, wargamers, engineers, and writers who crave hard facts over hype, this book hands you the tools, techniques, and battlefield context to understand-not just imagine-how an empire was crafted on the move.
