Roman Soldier vs. Germanic Warrior: 1st Century AD - Osprey Combat 6 (pdf)

Overall I greatly enjoyed this volume by Osprey. It was well written and quite informative. The author helpfully includes a page summarizing our ancient Roman sources at the book's conclusion. As usual for Osprey works, photographs of weapons, reenactors, strategic maps, and tactical drawings complement the text well. There are three scenes of battle artwork by Peter Dennis. Two are of Idistaviso (covering the Roman and German perspectives) and one is from the Roman vantage point at the Angrivarian Wall. The artwork is quite well done. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the military history of ancient Rome or who generally enjoy military history from Osprey Publishing.
