The Army of the Roman Republic ― The 2nd Century BC, Polybius And the Camps at Numantia, Spain

Adolf Schulten's early 1900s interpretation of the Late Roman Republic camps near Numantia in Spain are challenged in this report, as Dobson (archaeology, University of Exeter, UK) uses modern technology and recent fieldwork to reassess reconstructions, Scipionic siegeworks, and dates. Sections progress sequentially though the archaeological and literary evidence relating to Numantia, the theoretical form of armies and camps of the second century BCE, and the archaeology of Numantia. This very thorough publication includes numerous black-and-white illustrations and will undoubtedly be a key report to scholars of the Late Roman Republic.
