CLSS 123 Roman Military and Warfare

This course explores the Roman military and its conflicts, equipment, and tactics through analyses of literary accounts of contemporary historians, generals, and soldiers. The chronology spans the mid-Republic through the late Empire, emphasizing key conflicts including the Punic Wars, Caesar's Gallic campaign, the Jewish War, and the Gallic and Persian campaigns of Constantinus II and Julian. These writings, supplemented with secondary sources, will trace the rise and decline of the most powerful military in antiquity. [H]
