Quote:... has anyone seen/read this book and can say where it fits vis a vis the other cavalry books out there?Harry Sidebottom (review in Classical Review 2004): "This engaging short work will the first port of call for its subject, and should encourage further research." He points out that it covers ca. 300-100 BC (so, strictly speaking, "Middle Republic" rather than "Middle and Late" as in the title).
J.E. Lendon (review in Classical Journal 2004): "excellent", "McCall's approach to the Roman army is so fresh that even he found it a little terrifying, and so drew back from pushing his conclusions to their ends" (referring to the cultural context of Roman aristocratic cavalry). Sounds intriguing.
Quote:Is it still in print? What is the cover price?Yes. Seventy pounds sterling!
