A complete history of every Imperial Roman legion and what it achieved as a fighting force. Stephen Dando-Collins (born 1 May 1950) is an Australian historical author and novelist, with books on antiquity, American, Australian, British, and French history, and the two world wars. He also writes children's novels, the first of which, Chance in a Million, was filmed by PolyGram as Paws, starring Billy Connolly. In 2012, he started the Caesar the War Dog series of children's novels, based on the true stories of modern-day military dogs serving in Afghanistan and elsewhere, with the fifth in the series published in 2016. He contributes articles to various journals such as BBC History Magazine and Australian Heritage Magazine, and lectures about his books. Since his 2010 work Legions of Rome, (Dando-Collins focused on World War I and World War II history and the biographies of Australians who have made a mark on the world stage. He made a return to Roman history in 2019 with his biography of Caligula, third emperor of Rome, and to Persian history with his 2020 biography of Cyrus the Great. In this landmark publication, Stephen Dando-Collins does what no other author has ever attempted to do: provide a complete history of every Imperial Roman legion. Based on thirty years of meticulous research, he covers every legion of Rome in rich detail. In the first part of the book, the author provides a detailed account of what the legionaries wore and ate, what camp life was like, what they were paid, and how they were motivated and punished. Part two examines the histories of all the legions that served Rome for three hundred years starting in 30 BC. The book's final section is a sweeping chronological survey of the campaigns in which the armies were involved, told from the point of view of the legions. Featuring more than 150 maps, photographs, diagrams and battle plans, Legions of Rome is an essential read for ancient history enthusiasts, military history experts and general readers alike.
