"Warfare was a recurrent phenomenon of fundamental importance throughout Roman history.
Its scale and form varied across time and place, but it had wide-ranging impacts on
politics, society and economy. This book focuses on important themes in the interplay
between warfare and these broader contexts, including attitudes to war and peace,
the values associated with military service, the role of material resources, military
mutiny and civil war, and social and cultural aspects of the military. It also examines
experiences of warfare, focusing on approaches to Roman battle and the impact of war
on civilians. Importantly and distinctively, these different themes are traced across
a millennium of Roman history from the Republic through to the end of Late Antiquity
in the early seventh century, with a view to highlighting important continuities and
changes across Roman history, and alerting readers to valuable but often less familiar
material from the empire's final centuries. A. D. LEE is a Professor of Ancient History
in the Department of Classics and Archaeology at the University of Nottingham. Previous
books include Information and Frontiers: Roman Foreign Relations in Late Antiquity
(Cambridge, 1993) and War in Late Antiquity: A Social History (2007)."
