Roman Military Clothing (3)

[Ironhand]

I loved the book. The variety of design was astounding and I've never seen such colorful images in any depiction before the Renaissance. I could spend a long time singing its praises. Graham did an excellent job with his artistry. My only gripe is that there are a few too many depictions of officers and guardsmen and not enough of typical soldiers. It also leaves a lot of questions about regional style vs. common use and the patterns of styles spreading which wasn't answered in the preceeding text. Its wealth of information definately led to far more questions than it answered and I don't think a lot of them probably will. Great book and it left me with a lot of thinking and probably a lot of commision work for artisans to make stuff for me.
