THE LEGIONES CANNENSES
by Rocco, Samuel
1-1947632
The legiones cannenses (Cannae's legions), formed by the veterans of the battle of Cannae (216 BCE), developed from a citizen army into a professional army under the Roman Republic. Three events accelerated the transformation: the stripping of civic right from common soldiers as a consequence of the Senatus Consultum of 215 BCE; the peculiar commitment and loyalty to each of the successful Roman commanders; and the evolution and changing of the tactical composition of the legions into units that emphasized the primary importance of the cohors and the centuria.
Includes 20 color plates.
