Legions of imperial Rome

"This study came about as the result of visits to places in Egypt, Tunisia, the Rhineland, and England where Roman legions had been stationed. The total ignorance or the massive misinformation concerning these legions on the part of the casually met native inhabitant inspired this work. It aims to present brief histories of individual legions during the first three centuries of our era ... The method used in preparing this study is that of the army intelligence service rather than that of the scholar. It is, in effect, an order of battle study of Roman legions"--Introduction.
