Yann Le Bohec

L'Armee Romaine En Afrique Et En Gaule Yann Le Bohec

Here are gathered the essential shorter works of Yann Le Bohec, author of the fundamental La Legion III Auguste and many other, widely translated books. The papers are written in the years 1977-2007, four of them are published here for the first time. They round out the three great spheres of Le Bohec's work: the Punic wars, the Roman army in Gaul, and the Roman army in North Africa. They are clear and to the point and excel in their relentless drive to lay bare reasons for the changes that swept the Roman empire. Grounded in diplomatic, social, and cultural history as one may expect of the work of modern scholars, these papers also have the virtue of casting a keen eye on strategy and tactics, unfolding true military history. Their collection in one volume, with addenda and an index, enhances their usefulness for a long time to come.
