Description
This powerful book examines the ruthless but widely used tactics of mass killing, mass enslavement, and the destruction of cities in Roman warfare. Gabriel Baker convincingly shows that mass violence was vital to Roman military operations as commanders deliberately used brutal strategies to achieve their military objectives and political goals.
