Army in the Roman Revolution

<p>The Roman Revolution is one of the most momentous periods of change in history in which an imperial but quasidemocratic power changed into an autocracy. </p><p>This book studies the way the Roman army changed in the last eighty years of the Republic so that an army of imperial conquest became transformed into a set of rival personal armies under the control of the triumvirs. It emphasizes the development of what has often been regarded as a static monolithic institution and its centrality to political change. </p>
