This book is a sourcebook for `Field of Glory' wargaming armies pertaining to the period between c. 300 and 30 BC, focusing on the armies of Republican Rome and her enemies. As with other titles in this series, it profiles the strengths and weaknesses of the armies and their composition both in the game and in real history, and is filled with paintings and photographs of wargaming figurines illustrating typical soldiers of each army. The historically notes further flesh out the details of how figures should be armed and painted, and reveal the various enemies the historical army faced over time.
The armies included are:
Roman Armies of the Middle Republic; Roman Armies of the Late Republic; Gallic; Pyrrhic; Late Carthaginian; Illyrian; Spanish; Late Macedonian; Attalid Pergamum; Numidian; Late Seleucid; Late Ptolemaic; Pontic; Spartacan Slave Revolt; Early Armenian; Parthian; Late Jewish; and Bosporan.

This is another of the Field of Glory series of wargaming rules from Osprey. (see my other reviews). Designed for new and old gamers, size 15.. to 28mm figures, long or short games. Extras included from their other series of books (like Elite). Get it.

It is hard to put a rating on army lists as everone has their own favorite armies and opinions as to whiach armies should be included in any list. Never the less 'Rise of Rome' deserves a 4 star rating due to its format and usability.
Covering the mid to late Republican era from about 280 BC to 25BC the 39 armies and allies listed give good coverage of the period. Each army has a starter army of around 600 points which gives a quick reference to the basic army set up for quick play and reference. Of course there is a point system for modelling competitive armies to go at each other. The list is clear for ease of use within the 'Field of Glory' rules system and for calculating just how many figures does it take to build your favorite army.
With the quality Osprey pictures and photos of actual painted figures, it is a feast for the eyes to novice and experinced players alike. The novice has an easy reference to start with and the experienced player has something to argue with. What more can a tabletop wargamer want from a list?
