Soldiers of the Roman Empire: Traditions of Military Service and the Military Mentality
19.99 €
The book is devoted to the study of socio-political and military-ethical traditions of the Roman Imperial Army (1st century BC - 3rd century AD) on the basis of historical-anthropological and civilizational approaches. These traditions are interpreted as a contradictory unity of ancient political-republican institutions and the realities of the professional army, which was a kind of corporate community, a special social organism and a subject of political history. The author focuses on the specificity of the Roman military ethos based on special stereotypes of behavior and values. On the basis of a wide range of literary and documentary sources the moral and psychological, axiological and practical significance of the traditions of military comradeship and discipline is considered, the perceptions related to socio-political and moral qualities of soldiers, military valor, honor and glory, insignia and military career are analyzed, the interrelation of the Roman military ethos and army religion is revealed. The mechanisms and forms of the army's participation in political processes and the relationship between the emperor and the army are also studied.
