Hello,
- I have been now surfing for an hour looking for Osprey publications on Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Medieval European siege warfare and I am finding this separation between 'New Vanguard', 'Elite' and whatsoever confusing and absolutely not helpful.
Whats for example the difference between ' Siege Warfare in the Roman World' and 'Greek and Roman Siege Machinery' or 'Greek and Roman Siege Artillery'???
I have read a few critical reviews on RAT and, well, I am willing to spend a few bucks, but I also want some quality for that. So could you recommend me some titles, please?
My provisional list:
Ancient Siege Warfare
[amazon]Greek and Roman Siege Machinery[/amazon]
[amazon]Greek and Roman Siege Artillery[/amazon]
[amazon]Siege Warfare in the Roman World[/amazon]
[amazon]Medieval Siege Weapons 1: Western Europe[/amazon]
[amazon]Medieval Siege Weapons 2: Byzantim, the Islamic World and India[/amazon]
[amazon]Siege Weapons of the Far East 1[/amazon]
[amazon]Siege Weapons of the Far East 2[/amazon]
- Apart from the Osprey publications, is there a definite book on Roman and Greek siege weapons apart from Marsden? I would also be thankful for free online articles.
