Book Description

This detailed examination of the way in which the Roman army operated during a war and how it fought a battle breaks away from existing studies, which mostly concentrate on the army in peacetime, and attempts to understand the army as an institution whose ultimate purpose was to wage war. Adrian Goldsworthy explores the influence to the Roman army's organization on its behaviour during a campaign, emphasizing its great flexibility in comparison to most of its opponents. He considers the factors determining the result of a conflict and proposes, contrary to orthodox opinion, that the Roman army was able to adapt successfully to any type of warfare. Following the technique pioneered by John Keegan in The Face of Battle (1976), Dr Goldsworthy builds up a precise picture of what happened during battle: tactics employed, weaponry, leadership, behaviour of individuals as well as groups of soldiers, and, of utmost importance, morale.

Adrian Goldsworthy and the Roman Army at War (1996).......2006-10-23

In his detailed analysis of The Roman Army at War 100 BC-AD 200, Adrian Goldsworthy presents a new outlook on the Roman Army as a military force. Goldsworthy finds Hollywood films and previous historians' portrayals of the Roman army to be very misleading and blemished, and he also points out their failure to accurately depict the Roman army during war time. This book, then, is an attempt to understand how the army actually performed on a campaign.

Goldsworthy believes that the reason other historians have inaccurately interpreted the Roman army is a result of using sources that mainly describe the Roman army during times of peace. Therefore in this book Goldsworthy is clearly concentrating on the Roman army during times of campaign in order to get an accurate depiction of the Roman army. He clearly breaks down the book by precisely explaining the organization of the Roman army, the Romans main opponents, the strategies and objectives during the campaign, and the role of the general. Goldsworthy then goes into great detail to explain the unit during battle and also the individual soldier during battle. By employing this method, he gives one a clear understanding of how the army exerted itself during battle.

An example of how Goldsworthy describes the Roman army during campaign is his delineation of the general during warfare. According to Goldsworthy, other historians concentrated more on the general's observation of universal rules of warfare instead of investigating how he actually implemented the tactics of war. Goldsworthy examines the general closely in order to see where he was, and what he did before, during, and after the battle. He provides an expansive view of the general that enables one to really get a sense of the important role a general played in the campaign.

While reading this chapter one is able to see the importance of reconnaissance and intelligence and how these things played a significant role in the outcome of the battle. In one section of the book, Goldsworthy describes the advantages and disadvantages for a general who stayed behind the lines observing the battle as a whole, compared to the general who led a unit into battle and fought as a regular soldier. Another example of the influential role the general played was his relationship with the soldiers, which if good, prompted a high morale, but if bad, might lead to a low morale that could dictate the results of a battle. Goldsworthy uses detailed analysis of campaigns against opponents such as the Jews or Goths in order to enhance the reader's overall understanding of the general during battle.

One really gets a keen understanding of the Roman army in action because Goldsworthy spends half of the book discussing the unit during battle. While most historians only examine the equipment, armor, and weapons of the individual soldier to understand the unit during the campaign, Goldsworthy looks not only at the technical side of the fighting, but also the behavior of the individual soldier in order to better understand the unit during battle.

A good model of Goldsworthy's technique is his description of the actual collision between the Romans and their opponents. He gives the reader an in depth examination of what happened when the two sides met. He thoroughly explains the use of the shield, sword, and other weapons the soldiers possessed in order to infiltrate the enemy line. Goldsworthy gives examples of skeletons that were discovered at Maiden Castle to show what type of wounds the Roman soldiers endured, so one is able to get a more adequate perception of how effective the armor was. Goldsworthy effectively explains the stress of the battle and how that might have affected the fighting ability of the unit. The book also describes the importance of discipline in the units in order to cope with the fear of combat, especially when facing the Germanic tribes in Germany who were known for their intimidating tactics such as taunting battle cries, coercive bugles or drums, plus the fierce looking bearskin outfits. Goldsworthy explains how the pressure of battle was handled by having the front line fight for about fifteen minutes then retreat to the back of the line to rest while the line behind them took over. These details exemplify how this book enhances the readers' understanding of what Roman soldiers went through during battles.

Throughout the book Goldsworthy furnishes the reader high-quality information so he can obtain a grasp of what the Roman army was like during their campaigns. In each chapter Goldsworthy first addresses what he is going to talk about, explains how other historians have addressed the topic, and then gives many supporting statements, facts, and educated opinions to support his reasoning. At the end of every chapter he concludes by quickly reviewing the major points that he wants the reader to comprehend. This is especially beneficial because there is an immense amount of information given in every chapter. However, Goldsworthy is a specialist in the field of Roman History so it is helpful for one to have some basic back ground knowledge of the Roman Empire in order to get a deeper understanding of the points that Goldsworthy presents.

Overall this book was well written and gives the reader a new outlook when viewing the Roman army, or as Goldsworthy would say: "To understand the army, and place into context all other aspects of its behavior, we must gain a better understanding of the Roman practice of war." (p. 286) I found this book full of knowledge and would recommend it to anyone with an interest in ancient warfare or a penchant for the Roman Empire.

The Ins and Outs of a Roman Army at War.......2006-02-26

From an aggressive Republic to a dominating Empire, Roman culture and influence spread through three continents on the backs of its armies. Military power, flexibility of command, pursuit of glory, and pure mechanical determination shape the Roman world from 100 BC to 200 AD. For three centuries, the Romans expanded borders and spilt blood, fighting the enemy and themselves. It is to this end that Adrian Keith Goldsworthy attempts to show the Roman world, and more precisely the Roman military, with more emphasis on individuality than is typically discussed. He does so in his work, The Roman Army at War, an in depth book comprising of organization, movement, and tactics, as well as a deeper delve into a sphere of human emotion and motivation, asking why events unfolded as they did and to what end. Emphasis is placed on the individual thoughts and motives within a campaign, whether it is the lowest recruit or the Emperor himself. Gone are the days of archaic military history thinking in terms of emotionless blocks of troops moving in straight lines, ready to lay their lives down for the cause of Roman victory. Goldsworthy navigates through a sea of frail conclusions, unconvincing explanations, and unreliable sources, many of which he cites throughout the text, dealing with the Roman military and how they waged war, coming out the other side into the fairly uncharted waters of how war was waged on the individual. This is the new frontier of military history and is in dire need of further research as stated by Goldsworthy. Blocked off in six main chapters with several sub-topics contained within each chapter, Goldsworthy reveals a story of Roman military life which is not always cut and dry and certainly not romanticized.

Goldsworthy begins with the description of Roman military organization covering the evolution of the Legion due to "the changing scale of warfare" (37) from thirty maniples to ten cohorts. This was due to the need for a "far more flexible legion" (37). He further goes on to discuss the introduction of small scale fighting armies, made up of legionary detachments or vexillations, noting the lesser need for large standing armies because seldom "was there ever an enemy capable of organizing an army large enough to produce such large scale warfare" (38). Reinforcing the idea of Roman adaptableness, Goldsworthy goes into detail on the Roman armies' ability to change where change was needed, highlighting Arrian's Cappadocian legions in what is today eastern Turkey, "the roman army was an inherently flexible organization" (38). He concludes that the armies "ability to adapt to local situations" (38) was a key factor of its success. Goldsworthy follows this point up with a brief description of Rome's chief enemies, the Germans, Gauls, and Parthians, along with concise descriptions of their customs and methods.

The chapter on the Roman campaign deals with the idea of an aggressive and offensive army as opposed to the previous stereotype of an army of rigid defense. In fact, he even goes as far to say that a Roman army on defense had either been taken off guard or was admitting its grim position, "the Roman army sought always to bring the conflict to a decisive conclusion as soon as possible by seizing the initiative and dictating the course of the fighting" (114). The idea was to show Roman force, even if badly outnumbered or under supplied, in order to persuade an enemy out of fighting, "the Roman emphasis on the offensive in all forms of warfare was another aspect of this attempt to dominate the enemy's collective willpower and suggested the inevitability of Roman victory" (114). Goldsworthy continues on to discuss the Roman advantage in siege warfare as well as its ability to excel in low intensity skirmish and ambush combat. He affirms many Roman commanders were able to "use forces of heavily armed, legionary infantry as raiders to attack and completely surprise enemies who habitually fought using the tactics of raid and ambush" (114). He concludes this section dismantling the preexisting ideas of Roman-style warfare's reliance on geographical settings; also its inability to defeat the Germans and Parthians as reasons to the slowing of expansion in those areas. According to Goldsworthy, that would be to "deny the fundamental flexibility of the Roman army" (115).

The second half of his book goes into a much more personal level of the military and its characters. Beginning with the generals, Goldsworthy goes straight into his explanation of a Roman general's mobility and interaction in battle as opposed to the popular opinion of a stagnant observer. Describing the three positions of generalship during battle, front line combat, surveying from the rear of the army, or directly behind the men, he expresses that most Roman generals preferred to stay "close to the fighting without taking part, encouraging their men and directing their reserves as the situation required" (168). This allowed for a flexible general who could plug gaps when necessary and rally troops at different points in the line, a perfect form of command for the Roman army. As Goldsworthy emphasizes "the technical skill of the Roman general lay not in the sweeping moves of grand tactics, but in paying close attention to the detail of small unit tactics, directing his units" (169). He ends with how a general's upbringing in Roman society and the emphasis of "courage or virtus" (169) is the driving force of military success and shaped the Roman general in battle.

Goldsworthy's largest chapter deals with the unit in battle. He goes into explaining the idea that tactics, drill, and weaponry can only go so far on a battlefield. The core ingredient is the soldier himself and how he will react to the speed and stress of warfare. Goldsworthy states, "moral, far more than physical, factors were of most importance in determining the course of the fighting" (244), battles in this period seem to be highly fluid confrontations involving intervals of intense melee and then long episodes of uneasy face off where the difference between victory and defeat could be rather small indeed. He puts emphasis on the idea that most men in a battle "were instinctively more prone to avoiding threats to themselves then to attempting to kill the enemy" (245), also adding that "few men could have had any idea of the grand tactics of the battle, or indeed what was happening anywhere outside their own patch of ground" (245). Once again he is reiterating the concept of the Roman military as a group of individuals as opposed to a robot mob void of all emotion. He, however, finalizes that the Roman edge in battle was mainly due to its "discipline, fear of punishment, and good morale" (246), which allowed them the opportunity to hold out just longer then their enemies.

The final section of Goldsworthy's book deals with the individual soldier in battle concentrating on motivation and bravery. He discusses how discipline, unit cohesion, quality of leadership, opportunities to spoils of war, and even punishment were all essential motivators of the common Roman soldier. Acts of bravery were significant to the Roman army because "in the course of battle there were many occasions when it was important for one, or a few, individuals to push ahead, or cut their way into an enemy formation, in order to achieve victory" (264). The actions of a single man could rally others to go above the call of duty and sway a battle in Rome's favor. Bravery is excellent for morale and was a main cause of factors, such as personal recognition by a general or possibly Emperor, which could change the outcome of a battle. Goldsworthy displays many accounts of individual soldiers being rewarded by the Emperor, which encouraged striving for glory in battle, "the encouragement of boldness through reward helped to motivate individuals to the displays of aggression needed to achieve victory" (279). He finishes his work reaffirming the importance to rethink what we as a society assume of the Roman military and how it worked. They were not always perfect, they were not always victorious, however, as Goldsworthy concludes, "awareness of the difficulties faced by the Roman army only increases admiration for its achievement" (286).

Great Academic analysis.......2004-07-13

This is an outstanding book for many reasons. It is goes into great depth to explain the training, equipment, morale, leadership, strategy, and tactics of the Roman Army. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it is written from the academic veiwpoint, which of course is what Mr. Goldsworthy is, and therefore lacks some of the passion and excitment I would like to see. Nevertheless, Mr. Goldsworthy does an outstanding job of trying to paint as accurate a picture as he possibly can from the historical/archaeological record of what the soldiers, leaders, armies, and navies looked like and how they lived and fought for the Republic and the Empire. You can not complain about lack of information because Mr. Goldsworthy gives a great deal, although you may disagree with some of his conclusions. I guess that is one of the things that is so exciting about studing the Romans is that although we know large amounts of information about some things there is still mountains of information that has been lost to history and we will never really know the whole story. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to study the Roman Army much deeper than you can in one of the many books on this subject that just scrape the surface of the information available to scholars and military historians today.

Energizes the dull field of Roman military studies.......2004-03-30

Most books on the Roman military are either overly concerned with the actions of the commanders, relegating the troops to mere cogs in their well-oiled battle plans, or so incredibly boring and badly organized you wonder how people actually got paid to write it.

Although some of the reviews here are critical of his methodology and statements, I find it amusing that they attack his ancient sources, as if there was a hidden cache of writings that Goldsworthy ignored that show how it really happened. He does attempt to use more modern research to buttress some of his points and put the ancient writings in context (many are propaganda in the first place), probably because he believes (rightly so IMO) that they have lessons that can be applied to antiquity -- just as modern writings on Roman logistics have to use army manuals as reference. The attacks on his references to SLA Marshall are equally puzzling, did they read the same book I did? In the sections where he references those studies it's talking about archers (not the infantry as the reviews would imply) or the psychology of soldiers and the importance of unit comrades in keeping you going despite the fear (which is obvious to most people with a military background).

If you've grown tired and bored of Roman military studies written by academic armchair legates then this book may have the sort of fresh ideas and perspective that you need to get energized again.

Good History, Great Read.......2003-12-24

First, I must address some of Goldworthy's detractors who cite his reliance on ancient authors, irrelevant comparisons, and failure to tell us how the Roman soldier actually perceived battle. Their criticisms would have more validity had they actually explained any one of their conclusions rather than setting up questions and stating their own opinions as fact. Goldsworthy does a very good job of comparing all the ancients he relies on and even drawing in analytical tools from more modern writers. He never suggests that ony one writer or idea is definitive. His style is much more of a synthesis of ideas. Perhaps this is what one reviewer thought was a deceptive style intended to trick us into believing him.

I was much taken by this book - especially the last chapter. Goldsworthy never indicates that his thoughts on the subject of the Roman soldier in combat are definitive. He readily acknowledges the weakness of sources and the fact that Roman soldiers were illiterate and almost never left their written recollections. But, the author does pull together what is known about them in a rational, plausible explanation. I have twenty years of military service with the US Army and, while reading the last chapter, I often thought that much of Goldsworthy's analysis about vexillations, motivations, etc. would easily apply to the modern army. Perhaps some things in military life never change.

Finally, a word about how the Roman Army was led. Goldsworthy's main contention here is that Roman commanders were flexible. They adapted their strategies, tactics, formations, and personal leadership styles to the situation. This is THE key to success in any army at any time. You can train and you can plan but a commander must be able to change with battlefield surprises. The army that does everything the same all the time will be beaten all the time. For setting the record straight on this point alone Goldsworthy deserves much credit.

A Great Resource for Families, Schools or Groups.......2006-10-29

Kelley Renz shares a gift with those who pray regularly with children. In her new book, God Listens to Our Children: Kids' Prayers for Every Day of the Liturgical Year, Renz provides scripturally relevant, kid-oriented prayers for each day of the year. In line with the liturgical calendar, each day's listings offer the readings for that day, a brief kid-friendly prayer, and a reference point to the Catchism of the Catholic Church. There is a one word theme for each day and the brief prayers are perfect for school or home use. One word of note - the Catechetical references are not written out in the book. Readers are given a reference number and invited to do further research in the actual Catechism.

In my family, we pray each day on the way to school. I think Kelley Renz's book would be a wonderful addition to our morning prayer ritual.
