Finally received and read my copy.<br>
<br>
Although there was (an) explanation why the praetorians fought unarmoured, I could not find the reason why their opponents from II Parthica would fight unarmoured as well!<br>
<br>
On the whole, a very usefull book which spans the gap between the usual 1-2nd c. stuff and my own period. A sort of missing link, so to speak.<br>
Quinta must be delighted! And so will I when a third volume will span the 4th and 5th centuries only!<br>
<br>
This is where Osprey comes into their right - general, but not very long periods usually work for them.<br>
