Good book on the Roman Army
I have books on the Roman Empire including the classic Decline and Fall by Gibbon.
None on the Roman army through the years. Would like a good one with decent graphics and well researched text. Any ideas? |

Will do.
Thing with RTW is that I play it for an hour at a tiem adn even though I am learning on easy level I am so worried I'll screw up. I'm trying to build economic buildings first but know I have to build the war making things too. I'm trying th tactic of using one city as the econmic hub and others too for that and then a few cities will be military camps. |

If you want a good read though long concerning the decline of the Roman empire get this
The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon |

On the fiction side, try Simon Scarrow's series, which starts with Under the Eagle.
