A World of War

March to War with Rome’s Legions!

Did you know that the Roman Empire, at its greatest extent, covered an area of roughly 2.2 million square miles stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to ancient Babylon in the east, and from the land of Egypt in the south all the way to Scotland in the far north? Did you know that at the height of its power, the Roman Army was comprised of a standing force of over thirty legions with just under half a million professional soldiers and auxiliaries? How did a small mud hut village on the banks of the Tiber manage to create the greatest military and empire the world had ever seen?

The answer is simple… WAR.

Join award-winning author and historian, Adam Alexander Haviaras, as he shares his research exploring the world of the Roman Army from its creation to its evolution into the most disciplined and brutal fighting force in existence.

Through short essays that range from deep dives into research to snippets of background information, A World of War also looks at some of the great campaigns of Rome’s legions, as well as some of its most brutal enemies.
