I'm thinking about doing some battles based on the year of the five emperors or some of the Roman Civil Wars that happened after Julius. Do you have any recommendations? |

Society of Ancient's "The Roman Empire Order of Battle for the Civil Wars 68-70AD (on CD-ROM)". Really useful! soa.org.uk/joomla/publications Also Tacitus' Annals. |

I'll say the 'Battles for Wargamers', The Roman Civil Wars' by Terry Wise.
An old but faithful companion. |

Thank you for the suggestions. |

The twelve ceasers by Mathew Dennison is a good read. |

If you haven't read it already, Tacitus "The Histories" has a nicely detailed account of the campaigns of 69 AD. |

I agree with Mandy Potemkin about AD69. I bought a copy from a second-hand bookshop 10 years ago when I was looking for information on Emperor Vespasian and it hooked me on EIR Civil Wars. Thanks for the recommendation BigRedBat. I have just recieved my copy of the Civil Wars CD-ROM. A fantastic resource. Also outstanding customer support by the Society of Ancients. I can't recommend high enough! Oliver |

Hi Oliver, thanks! It is such a useful resource, I have recommended it more than once and have been told I've helped sell quite a few copies. I'm running a game at Salute based on the OOB for first Cremona. |

I think you just pushed me over the edge for Salute 2015. As my wife has bagged tickets to see New Zealand versus Namibia in September I think I can justify Salute this year. I will try to catch the First Cremona Game. Oliver |

Hi Oliver, it's a date, then! Best, Simon |

I bought the SoA Civil Wars CD and I'm waiting for it eagerly. |
