Condition: New. Hardback 390 pages with 170 illustrationsPublished Price £35 The authors start examining the early swords employed across the Italian Peninsula during the Bronze Age and how these evolved into the gladius, which itself changed in the period of Monarchy with the introduction of the cross-hilt. During Romeâs Consu…lar period, the gladius changed again, and, over time, both the length of the blade and its width were altered.Relying exclusively on historical and archaeological evidence, The Roman Gladius and the Ancient Fighting Techniques shows how the Roman army developed into a highly disciplined body and how fundamental the gladius was to its method of fighting. It also shows how the combat techniques of the Romans evolved as did those of their enemies. The training methods and tactics of the Roman infantry are fully explored and its performance at some of the great battles of the monarchical and consular periods are examined as the area under Roman rule fluctuated with victory or defeat.For the Roman people, the gladius was the object that better than any other showed their identity, since it was a weapon that accompanied the history of the Roman people from its earliest days, changing in shape and design as it was adapted to the varying social, political and military needs.The Roman Gladius and the Ancient Fighting Techniques is the most comprehensive study of this hugely important weapon, which also provides the reader with a complete overview of Roman society. The book is well illustrated throughout with drawings and photographs of original weapons and equipment.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The backbone of the Roman army was the infantry, armed with a javelin, or pilum, and sword, or gladius.

AUTHORS: Born in Siena on 25 February 1964, FABRIZIO CASPRINI is an ophthalmologist surgeon, while MARCO SALIOLA, who was born in Rome on 12 February 1962, is an architect. The pair are researchers who have worked together for many years on the study of the ancient Roman world, focusing on the military aspects of that period, in particular fighting techniques and weapons. Their work is based strictly on scientific principles, and they have become widely acknowledge as experts in their field. Their previous book, Pugio Gladius Breviest, was published in both Italian and English. They often hold conferences in Italy and arrange expositions on Roman military weapons and warfare. 170 b/w illustrations The backbone of the Roman army was the infantry, armed with a javelin, or pilum, and sword, or gladius.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 141 pages : illustrations (some colour), maps (some colour) ; 30 cm. This study examines in depth the pugio (pl. pugiones), a short dagger-sword and one of the weapons of choice of the Roman army it was the weapon that killed Julius Caesar. Its rich decoration and the use of precious metals have given… it legendary status, which has been enhanced by a scarcity of literary sources and the lack of a clear explanation of its function or the specific use soldiers made of it. This work tries to fill this gap, basing its finds exclusively on undisputed data and sources. This study of the pugio takes us through the history and evolution of the Roman army itself.
