Yes! I want this book now. Would you argue that Pompey’s recruitment in the mid 80s ahead of Sulla’s return are a revival or simply seamless continuation of this tradition?
Roman military success in the third & second centuries BC was due to more effective mobilization systems (esp. clientela) which used pre-existing Italic social institutions to more effectively mobilize resources which included, but also extended beyond mere cash and manpower.https://twitter.com/tanyaboza/status/1458267253233750017 …

Like Liv, I want this book now. Tempered only be my too-large tbr pile. There’s been so much good work on the republican army (and military capability more broadly) over just the past five years.

This is awesome and I can’t wait to read and cite it to show the principle of eternal recurrence in human affairs.

Does this include food and work animals like horses ? How about ships?
-
Yes to food and animals. Ships - not directly, though I have discussed those costs elsewhere.

There’s a comparative subtext here that I’d like to explore at some point.
-
In the finished work it's going to be text, not subtext - I'm trying to be explicitly comparative in my approach rather than Rome-focused.
