Hey, hey,<br>
<br>
I understand Mike, I agree with you for something, but not for all.<br>
During these days in Italy has been sold for ONE euro a full color pages book of about 250 pages.<br>
Ok, not militar, not something "new", not research, but only a generic publication about romans. Written by Annamaria Liberati, that is on of the VIPs about roman stuff in Italy.<br>
<br>
For ONE euro is there much more than expected: hundreds of full-color-full-page pics clearly new with splendid colors, great paper: in a word big big quality.<br>
Do you think this was printed in the east? I don't know, but this example shows that "it is possible".<br>
<br>
On the other hand we have also another example of a b/w pics book about roman helms recently issued in Italy sold for too many bucks.<br>
<br>
Back to the book, after so many months of expectations let me say that all my hopes to finally see all the details about the scuta (front and rear), details about nails, rivets, sewings..... NOTHING. In a word: I'm frustrated.<br>
For sure my expectations were wrong, my problem, period. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=luca@romanarmytalk>Luca</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.romanhideout.com/legiov/Images/lucamain.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 6/18/04 5:52 pm<br></i>
