A highly illustrated account of one of Ancient Rome's most humiliating defeats, the battle of the Caudine Forks in 321 BC, and how the embarrassment spurred the Roman Army on to eventual triumph.
Dr Nic Fields started his career as a biochemist before
joining the Royal Marines. Having left the military, he went back
to university and completed a BA and PhD in Ancient History at the
University of Newcastle. He was Assistant Director at the British
School in Athens, Greece, and then a lecturer in Ancient History at
the University of Edinburgh. Nic is now a freelance author and
researcher based in south-west France.
Seán Ó'Brógáin lives and works in Donegal, Ireland. He has a
BA (Hons) in Scientific and Natural History illustration from
Lancaster University and has worked for a wide range of clients.
Apart from Osprey, these include the University of Manchester, An
Post, the National Museum of Ireland, the Irish Office of Public
Works, as well as for a variety of media companies, museums,
councils, and private individuals.
Fields has given us an account of an important and perhaps
neglected battle and given us much to think about regarding it and
subsequent military history.
