Title: fascinating account of the life of a legionary
Review: Once again a wonderful litte booklet in addition to Connolly's "The Cavalryman" concerning the life of a soldier in the legions during the time of Trajan. Vividly illustrated in great (and accurate) detail based on archeological finds this book would be enjoyable just for the drawings, but in fact its the story of the life of Tiberius Maximus which draws the attention taken from his gravestone depicting his accomplishments and service in the Roman army. The only complaint that comes to mind is the shortness of the book which could have been very good indeed if it had been fleshed out somehwat.
