The principal source, up to 292 BC, is Livy, books I X, and must be read in conjunction with the commentaries of Ogilvie (1965) and Oakley (1997 2005). For the supplementary ancient literary sources (Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Diodorus Siculus, Plutarch, Strabo, Appian, Dio, Zonaras, Pliny the Elder, Polybius, Florus, Frontinus, Valerius Maximus, et cetera) and epigraphic materials, consult Broughton (1951) and Degrassi (1947, 1957 1963), and see Oakley (1997 2005) for critical discussion. For sources specifically relating to the Roman army of the early and mid-Republican periods, see Sage (2008).
