Romans. Clothing from the Roman era in North-West

[Albertomv]

Thank you very much!

[Agricola]

It looks excellent. Will it be sold to other distributors (such as Amazon etc) or is it only possible to get hold of it from the publishers website?

[jvrjenivs]

I'm not sure Amazon will have it, but Karwansaray (ancient warfare magezine) does.

[Conal]

Dang, every time I come on this site a new book goes on my list :eek: .

[Quintius Clavus]

I can probably buy it as soon as I get reimbursed for the Virginia Junior Classical League expenses. Until then, I'm a little short on money. And yes, it is available through the Ancient Warfare magazine website. I agree that Roman Army Talk is horrible for my budget, especially my book-budget! :whistle:

This does look an attractive book and one I will undoubtedly purchase.

Nice to see some familiar faces from the Gemina Project!

Is this giving too much away?

Yes, I think so. But then again, it's not in the high-res quality of the real thing.

Very excellent photographs. Good work! :!:

[Robert]

You can't tell from the pictures, but the book is a quite large format (over A4), too, showing great detail in the pictures. It was fun to recognize so many people I know in re-enactment.

[Virilis]

Yes, plenty of familiar faces, looking forward to drawing moustaches on Robert, Jurjen etc.... :lol:

No one asked for a Batavian blacksmith ..... So I am not in the book

Hopefully a follow-up book would look at reconstructions of ancient crafts and trades, and you could get a look in there? I think that's an important element missing from this book at least (which is very nice nonetheless).

Well, that was a choice made by the photographer, because he wanted to show the 'clothing'. If you like a book with good pictures of craftsman, buildings, etc, get the 'Carpe Diem' book by the APX.
