Review: Osprey Elite #126 Siege Warfare in the Roman World - Title says it all. This is a crash course into innovations and advancements in siege warfare in the Roman Era from the triumph of the Roman Republic to the defeat at Adrianople. As usual with the Osprey books there is good use of primary resources combined with archeological evidence and recreations of equipment. Big sections include the use of seaborne siege machines by Mithridates in his bid to overthrow Roman power in the Late Republic, the many sieges of the Late Republic. Caesar's sieges from his own writings examined in detail, the sieges of the Jewish War and the amazing archeological finds at Dura Europos, which tell a chilling tale of tunnel/mine warfare with an early use of chemical weapons in Syria! I was a little disappointed that the Civil Wars of the late 2nd century and the Severan Invasion of Parthia got scant coverage, but there is little about them in the primary literature. Adam Hook, a legacy Osprey illustrator does a great job of reproducing epic small-scale scenes using the best evidence as to how these sieges occurred. The photographs include modern reenactments and reconstructions as well as some archeological finds, aerial site photos, maps and diagrams. A reader with a keen interest in getting up to speed on the technology and operational experience of siege warfare in this period will finish this book satisfied with the knowledge and degree of insight it would provide. I would also suggest the same reader get Osprey New Vanguard 78 and 89, Greek and Roman Siege Machinery 399 BC-AD 363 (New Vanguard) and Greek and Roman Artillery 399 BC-AD 363 (New Vanguard) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #250,097 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #315 in Ancient Roman History (Books) #500 in Military Strategy History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (30) | | Dimensions | 7.25 x 0.2 x 9.75 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1841767824 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1841767826 | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Elite | | Print length | 64 pages | | Publication date | May 8, 2005 | | Publisher | Osprey Publishing | ## Images ![Siege Warfare in the Roman World: 146 BC–AD 378 (Elite, 126) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A14EPzcaW7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is as it was *by R***S on June 26, 2011* Cambell and Ospray work realy well on this one, awesome colour photos and great text keep you reading from front to back, This makes a great reference book and flows well. well worth the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Osprey Elite #126 Siege Warfare in the Roman World *by D***H on June 3, 2013* Title says it all.
