العنوان الفرعي للكتاب | Mark Antony's Struggle For Survival |
وصف الكتاب | In the aftermath of the murder of Gaius Julius Caesar, his self-declared successor Mark Antony struggled to hold together his legacy. Following an abortive coup attempt by Caesar's adopted son Octavian, two of Antony's legions declared for him, leading to a renewed outbreak of civil war. Antony moved into northern Italy and invaded the city of Mutina, which was held by Decimus Brutus. There they were quickly sandwiched between the city walls on one side and the newly arrived Senate-backed forces of Octavian on the other. These two heirs of Caesar then fought to claim their former mentor's legacy. Fully illustrated with specially commissioned artwork and maps, this is the full story of the battles which would see Octavian move from being a young, inexperienced aristocrat to the dominating figure of Augustus. |
المراجعة التحريرية | "Mutina is one of the most famous battles in Roman history and this new book brings it to life with original artwork, excellent maps, and clear writing. It is part of Osprey's well-regarded Campaign Series and follows its well laid out format, allowing the reader to get a clear idea of the battle's background, key lead-ers, tactics, and outcome. The author has painstakingly covered every facet of the campaign. The work is full of pertinent facts and magnificent descriptions." - Army Magazine |
