I always liked Windrow and Hook's The Footsoldier ever since I saw it in the school library when I was 7 or 8. The story of the Roman Legionary storming Maiden castle was probably formative in my love of Roman military history. There are alos the cutout of Roman soldiers (can't remember the title but the book creates a whole range of Roman figures which you cut out and colour in and assemble putting on shields, spears and swords. Hours of fun - I'll look up the title and post it later)<br>
