This is due to the myriad complexities associated with color and how they are manifested in the lives of good people every single day.

Despite all this attention, persistent myths continue to shape--and misdirect--public understanding and strategic policy decisions.

A clazzic work of military history, this was the first systematic study of the auxiliary soldiers who fought alongside the Roman legions. Using evidence ranging from their gravestones to the discharge papers that eventually granted them citizenship, Cheesman traces the evolution of the “barbarian” auxiliaries, from ad-hoc local levies to highly specialized units that became a vital component of the Roman army.
