The scale and organisation of the Roman army was unprecedented in the ancient Western world. A major new British Museum exhibition and accompanying book, Legion: life in the Roman army, tell the story of everyday aspects of the army in the heyday of the Roman Empire – from life in a tent to the food soldiers consumed – and explains its hierarchy, roles, equipment and place in a vast multi-ethnic society divided between citizens and subjects. Presented by British Museum and exhibition curator and author Richard Abdy.
