Hello Dr. Bishop,

I would say to add more colored photos and drawings. Usually books only have black/white drawings and photos. I think it would be great to show acutal color photos of artifacts that are available instead of only drawings. If color for a particular item is not possible, then black/white is great in good resolution.

Also, if possible, full page photos (color or black/white) of the best preserved and most beautiful objects be they helmets, swords, armor etc.

I would also like to see more metallurgical analysis of the various metals and when possible actual dimensions of pieces.....for example.....belt plates. It would also be nice to know on average the thickness of the metal used to stamp out a belt plate, sword scabbard etc.

One last item....pugios! They are always falling away. It would be great to have good resolution photos of some of the best pugios such as the Velsen. Moreover, drawings that could better exemplify a particular pugio because the scabbard might not be in the greatest condition.

Thanks
