Models of the Roman Legion By Gary Brueggeman "The purpose of the models presented here is to help visualize the legion. The models have been built from data from a variety of experts, many of whom do not agree with each other. The hope is that the models themselves may serve as a tool to clarify questions, identify solutions which are more or less likely, and lead to a further refinement of knowledge about the legion."

Gladius versus Sarissa Roman legions against Greek pike phalanx by Dimitrios Kitsos
"During the first half of the 2nd century BC the Roman legion confronted the Macedonian phalanx. In most of the engagements - including the major ones at Cynoscephalae, Magnesia and Pydna - the Romans prevailed over their opponents and the Republic emerged as the indisputable Mediterranean power. This essay deals with the causes of the Roman military successes by examining briefly the Macedonian and Roman systems of war and searching for possible other factors that contributed to the defeat of the phalanx" ANISTORITON>: History, Archaeology, ArtHistory

"Marcus Junkelmann ist der Autor zahlreicher Bände zur römischen Militärgeschichte, die grosse Resonanz gefunden haben, da er seine wissenschaftlichen Studien mit einer Nachprüfung der Ergebnisse im archäologischen Experiment zu Pferde und zu Fuss ebenso erfolgreich zu verbinden wie anschaulich aufzubereiten versteht"
The Journal (ISSN 09613684) is dedicated to the Study
of the Weapons, Armour, and Military Fittings of the Armies and Enemies
of Rome and Byzantium. It covers all aspects of the subject and its source
material - archaeological, literary, sub-literary, iconographic/representational,
and experimental.
"The first Roman Military Equipment Research Seminar
was held in the Department of Ancient History and Classical Archaeology
(now, sadly, defunct) at the University of Sheffield (GB) in 1983. It has
since grown and now visits various international venues, but still retains
the same goals as that first seminar: to further the study of Roman military
equipment with contributions from professional or amateur, academic or
re-enactor, archaeologist or historian."
"Arma is the newsletter of the Roman Military Equipment Conference (ROMEC) which, since 1983, has met to discuss the arms, armour, and military fittings of the Roman army. The proceedings of these volumes have been published (four of them by British Archaeological Reports) but Arma now provides an opportunity for the publication of short notes on recent finds, news of relevant publications, and a running bibliography of academic articles published on the subject since 1980. The newsletter also supplies details about forthcoming events, including of course the next ROMEC. Of interest to specialists and enthusiasts alike, as well as unit and museum staff, and academics working in related fields, Arma offers the chance to keep up-to-date with Roman military equipment studies."
"ARMAMENTARIVM has the ultimate aim of providing a successor
to H. Russell Robinson's seminal volume The Armour of Imperial Rome, published
in 1975 and long out of print. As such, ARMAMENTARIVM will exploit the
latest available technology to function as a dynamic book: it will be updated
as and when new material becomes available and so will be as true a reflection
as possible of the current state of scholarship on Roman military equipment".
" ArmaList is intended to act as a forum to discuss all issues relating to Roman military equipment studies, but it is hoped that it will primarily serve for debate on the form and structure
of ARMAMENTARIVM, and it will be the main location for posting new contributions to the Web site as they are added. It is manually run, not on a computerized list server, so do not be surprised if it takes a while for things to get posted or responded to. "

The Rome's tenacity towards any adversity created aÊ world that lasted over a thousand years. Roman culture evolved through that time, from a small collection of villages on seven hills and the earliest kings, to the Republic, to the Empire, and it is still with us. The Roman culture and military which created and held this together is a fascinating study of organization, arts, economics, discipline, technology and thinking.Ê

Roma."
"Legio VI Victrix, or Legion Six Victorious, played an important part in the existence of the Roman province of Britannia. In a very real way, the soldiers of this ancient army are among the forefathers of our own society. Despite this, most people know only what Hollywood has seen fit to tell them about the Empire and it's people. It is for this reason that we re-create this unit and it's local civilian counterparts. By understanding Imperial Rome, we hope to provide insight into our own modern society, attitudes, and governments. By presenting an accurate and researched picture of life on the Roman frontier, we strive to enlighten our society about the nation that was the main foundation of western culture."
"The purpose of this organization is to serve the educational and public interests by accurately presenting the life and times of the legionaries of Rome in a credible atmosphere. We are interested in healthy growth of the unit through the addition of like minded members, but stress quality over quantity in both members and equipment. We also want to have fun while when we are together and working on "Living Archeology"."

"In the summers of 1993 and 1994, a team of American and Greek researchers scanned the ocean depths where, 20 centuries before, Mark Antony and Cleopatra fought Octavian for control of the Mediterranean world. Using computer, video and remote-sensing technology, Project members hoped to locate on the sea floor actual physical evidence from the battle. Our expectations were based on various threads of evidence that suggest 60 or more bronze warship rams plummeted to the bottom during the course of the battle on September 2, 31 B.C."
"Through the Battle of Actium in 31 B.C. the destiny of the Roman Empire was decisively influenced by a sea-battle for the final time. Following it Rome dominated the seas; enemies with their own large fleets no longer existed. Despite this, the Roman navy was not disbanded; indeed, it was expanded further. This clearly demonstrates that the fleets did not play an inconsiderable role in Roman imperial policy. As a result, one has to ask oneself what functions the fleets performed." By Barbara Pferdehir.

"This is a site for exploring the Column of Trajan as a sculptural monument. The core of the site is a searchable database of over 500 images focusing on various aspects of the design and execution of the column's sculptural decoration. These images (slides and drawings) were generated by and for sculptor Peter Rockwell, over the course of his study of Roman stone-carving practices. The aim of this site is to make these images available to the widest possible public, in a form that can contribute both to ongoing study by specialists and to enjoyment and appreciation of the monument by the general public."
