I recently purchased the DBMM rule set along with the army lists. After looking at the army lists I realized I don't know that much about how the ancients fought. So what I'm looking for is a good book or two about ancient tactics. The period I want to start with is either Marian Roman or Late Imperial Roman. Thank you for any suggestions.

Hard to go wrong with either one of these:
Warfare in the Classical World, by John Warry
Greece and Rome at War, by Peter Connelly

Lots of great color illustrations in both!

Thanks for the suggestions so far they both look good and are now on my list.

Lost Battles by Prof. Phillip Sabin is essential reading on this subject.
