E sono tanti i vantaggi collaterali: si risparmia, si perde peso, ci si sente più in forma, i figli si divertono, ci si comporta meglio dei vicini.

ill., br. Conquistare il mondo e governare i popoli è la missione di Roma, specie nella visione di Augusto dopo le tormentate guerre civili. La maggior parte delle conquiste avvenne in età repubblicana e all'inizio del Principato, durante il regno di Augusto, e portò sotto il controllo di Roma l'intero bacino mediterraneo. Strumento delle conquiste fu l'esercito, che inoltre consentì di conservarle. Le autorità romane disponevano di uno strumento eccellente, grazie al quale furono sconfitti popoli notoriamente bellicosi. Ma, nonostante ciò, l'esercito romano può essere definito un esercito modello? Il libro mira a rispondere criticamente a questo quesito, proponendo nuovi spunti interpretativi ed esaminando in particolare quattro ambiti: natura e composizione dell'esercito, diserzione e passaggio al nemico, ammutinamento e insubordinazione, le ragioni del successo dell'esercito romano.
