Is There a Book on Roman Tombstones?
#2
There are several - albeit not very many - books on the subject, mostly in German. None is comprehensive as in "all encompassing" though. Jon Coulston is the leading authority on the subject and is said to be planning a book, although I'm not sure it would include photos of each and every tombstone with image. The total number of surviving tombstones depicting the soldier and/or his equipment lies around 750 (both complete and incomplete ones).
Greets!
