In the name of Rome: the men who won the Roman Empire

Trama

The complete and definitive history of how Roman generals carved out the greatest and longest-lasting empire the world has ever seen. The legions and their commanders carved out an empire which eventually included the greater part of the known world. This was thanks largely to the generals who led the Roman army to victory after victory, and whose strategic and tactical decisions shaped the course of several centuries of warfare.
