Roman Republic at War: A Compendium of Roman Battles from 502 to 31 BC

Roman Republic at War provides a chronological guide to the battles fought by Rome from the early Republic to the victory of Octavian in 31 BCE. Covering conflicts in Italy and across the Mediterranean, Don Taylor brings together the engagements through which Rome expanded from a regional power into the dominant state of the ancient Mediterranean.

Each battle is placed within its wider campaign and historical setting, with attention to commanders, opposing forces, strategy and outcomes. Designed as a reference as well as a narrative military history, the book offers a detailed overview of more than four centuries of Republican warfare and the conflicts that shaped Rome’s rise.
