Lazenby rocks! 👏 And I 100% agree that Polybius is better than Livy. Livy is definitely a propagandist for Caesar Augustus. If you're looking for more graphical depictions of the soldiers, Peter Connolly is your man. I bought a copy of his book about "Hannibal and the Enemies of Rome" that totally blew my mind as a junior high student. I still have that book for reference: https://www.amazon.com/Hannibal-Enemies-Rome-Armies-Past/dp/0382069110
