New book forthcoming

[Robert Vermaat]

That is cheap compared to the forthcoming Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of the Roman Army RRP £350.

The price already dropped to £297 - maybe it will be affordable when it actually becomes available. Le Bohec told me in january that it was to be published 'in 2012', but I'm afraid it will be next year.

The list of contributors was good (at least I'd heard of them, unlike the earlier flaccid, expensive, and equipmentless Companion... volume) but I was uneasy at the intent behind it.

I contributed to that one as well because they asked me to write a bit about my pet subject (plumbatae). That was back in 2008!
