The study situates Caesarâs Generalship in its broadest sense, with particular attention to the logistical and financial demands of raising, equipping, feeding, and remunerating his legionsâ"an aspect often neglected in other accounts but central to understanding his operational effectiveness.The work examines the organisation, tactics, and equipment of late Republican Roman armies, emphasising how their employment both by and against Caesar underscores the decisive role of Generalship in determining outcomes. Romane offers a detailed reconstruction of Caesarâs strategic and operational manoeuvres during his confrontation with Pompey the Great, including the critical engagements at Dyrrhachium and Pharsalus, and extends this detailed analysis to the concluding campaigns in Spain and Africa.By integrating operational, logistical, and strategic perspectives, the study presents a holistic account of Caesarâs military command. Romaneâs careful attention to both the practicalities of sustaining an army and the broader tactical and strategic decisions allows readers to appreciate the full scope of Caesarâs capabilities as a commander and the factors contributing to his enduring historical significance. This work thus provides a rigourous and nuanced reassessment of one of antiquityâs most influential military leaders, balancing narrative clarity with analytical depth.
