In 1977 my wife and I went to spend a few months in London. First stop was Westminster Abbey, and in the Abbey bookstore I found Peter Connolly's young peoples' books, "The Greek Armies" and "The Roman Armies." The latter in particular was a revelation. For the first time I understood how Roman soldiers actually looked and the progression of their gear through the centuries. I still have both books. How sad to know tht there will be no more such art and writing.
