The book is easily worth £16 even if it isn't, it seems, going to make me "re-think not only the appearance, but also the function/fighting methods of the Roman soldier" as the publisher would suggest. I was interested by the measurements of some of the Corbridge plates: Some of the breast plates measured up to 3.7mm thick, but then I suspect it would be impossible to know how much expansion there has been due to corrosion and subsequent conservation.
