This is a brief survey but this series really elucidates material that is either difficult to find or concentrated in any other source. They are well worthwhile references. In this short volume the oft-neglected topic of Rome's enemies are covered. The color illustrations are a high point which show several hard-to-find pictures of Rome's enemies. This book concentrates on the Germans and Dacians.
