Rome's Enemies (4) - Spanish Armies(Men-at-Arms 180)Author: Rafael Treviño MartinezIllustrator: Angus McBridePaperback; March 1986; 48 pagesAbout this book:The Republican Roman army suffered heavy losses as a result of the 'hit and run' tactics employed by the Hispanics in Ancient Spain. After preparatory chanting, the Celt-Iberians would attack en masse and in apparent disorder. At a pre-arranged signal the warriors would retreat as if defeated. This sequence might be repeated over several days, until finally the Romans lost their discipline and broke formation in pursuit. At this point the Hispanics would quickly mount a counter-attack that would decimate the legions. This volume explores the organisation, tactics, history, arms and armour of Rome's Spanish enemies.The Authors:Rafael Treviño Martinez is a respected author in the field of Ancient History, and has a special interest in the period of classical history in his native Spain.Angus McBride was one of the world's most respected historical illustrators, who contributed to more than 90 Osprey titles over three decades.
