AW404 - The Marian Reforms

Ancient Warfare Podcast · 45:15 · Apr 10

Ancient Tactics & Battles Weapons & Technology

The Ancient Warfare Magazine team tackle one of the most debated transformations in military history — the Marian reforms and the shift from citizen militia to professional Roman army. What makes this episode stand out is the emphasis on what the reforms actually were versus the mythology that's built up around them, with proper engagement with the historiographical debate. Forty-five minutes of focused ancient military history from people who write about it professionally.
