Quote:Charles and Diana were married for a few months :lol:Quote:I recently heard anecdotes about how distinguished authors like Peter Connolly are unable to persuade publishers to publish updated editions of their work. Connolly's "Greece and Rome at War" was written over 25 years ago ! I was barely a year old
In fact this book was re-released in a slightly revised edition by Greenhills only a few years ago.
When it first came out I was just a few years older than you Jaime!

But seriously, yes, it seems I have the revised 1998 edition. If the stories I heard are true it wasn't easy to get it published. The color plates at the end are woefully outdated - two of them show third century soldiers wearing caligae and another wearing the older interpretation of the Newstead segmentata. Michael Simkins, I believe, is another author who's had trouble with tight-fisted publishers.
