Roman soldier\'s equipment in the time of Heraclius - comitatus (Marco) - 05-10-2007 Hi. How was roman soldier's equipment (helmet, shield, sword, etc.) in the time of Heraclius? Please, I need a reconstruction. Regards, Marco. Re: Roman soldier\'s equipment in the time of Heraclius - Robert Vermaat - 05-10-2007 Best get a copy of Sumner, Graham and Raffaele D'Amato (2005): Roman Military Clothing 3: AD 400 - 640, Osprey Men-at-Arms 425, (Osprey, Oxford). http://www.ospreypublishing.com/title_d ... MAA~per=40 Re: Roman soldier\'s equipment in the time of Heraclius - Ironhand - 05-10-2007 Seconded. That book is a dream for that period. I only wish I could recreate every tunic in the book. Re: Roman soldier\'s equipment in the time of Heraclius - Mithras - 05-10-2007 Well yes, but I think the poster wanted more than just clothing. I suggest Osprey 247, Romano-Byzantine Armies 4th-9th Centuries... Re: Roman soldier\'s equipment in the time of Heraclius - Ironhand - 05-11-2007 Plus Late Roman Infantryman/ Cavalryman is not a bad source either.

I guess Marco was not entirely conviced by that book, as he wrote earlier: http://www.romanarmy.com/rat/viewtopic.php?t=15139 Shall we continue the discussion there? Re: Roman soldier\'s equipment in the time of Heraclius - Mithras - 05-11-2007 Sorry, I had not seen that thread ... Re: Roman soldier\'s equipment in the time of Heraclius - comitatus (Marco) - 05-11-2007 Well... I need information for helmets (spangenhelmsor ridge helmets?), armour (mail, lammellar, scale), shields, swords, etc. For clothing is spectacular Roman Military Clothing (3) AD 400-640, but for the arms and armour? Please, I need a soldier reconstruction (image).

There are in fact at least four fully armoured figures illustrated and a few more helmets but sorry none for the Heraclian period. Graham. Roman soldier\'s equipment in the time of Heraclius - legado - 01-05-2014 Hello, I’m new here and I resurrected this old thread because I am fascinated by this period in Eastern Roman history, I would like to ask the knowledgeable members of this forum if there have been any other new publications on byzantine troops of this period. Thanks in advance |
