Egypt was the last of the Macedonian Successor states
to be swallowed up by Roman expansion. The Ptolemaic
rulers had allied themselves to Rome while their rivals
went down fighting. However, Cleopatra's famous love
affair with Marc Antony ensured she was on the wrong
side of the Roman civil war between him and Octavian
(later to become Caesar Augustus). After the defeat of
Antony and Cleopatra at the naval battle of Actium,
Octavian swiftly brought it under direct Roman control,
though it took several campaigns to fully subjugate the
whole country. These campaigns have previously been
largely neglected. Judaea was a constant source of
trouble for the Romans, as it had been for the
Seleucids, the previous overlords of the region. The
Romans at first were content to rule through client
kings like the infamous Herod but were increasingly
sucked in to direct military involvement to suppress
religiously-inspired revolts. Like the other volumes in
this series, this book gives a clear narrative of the
course of these campaigns, explaining how the Roman war
machine coped with formidable new foes and the
challenges of unfamiliar terrain and
climate.Specially-commissioned colour plates by the
renowned Graham Sumner bring the main troop types
vividly to life in meticulously-researched
detail. |
