Dear colleagues! I am a Russian postgraduate and writing a dissertation «Polybius as a military historian». Of course, a large part of it will be dedicated to his view on Roman army. The library of our university is very poor. Our university does not have jstor. I am extremely needed in these articles and books:

I will be glad if somebody will scan or download from jstor even some of these articles. My e-mail address is: [email protected] . I have heard, that Peter Connolly wrote an article concerning Polybius s description of Roman army. When and where was it published? Could somebody scan and send me these article?
Do the participants of forum know the e-mail addresses of historians who are researching Polybius, hellenistic warfare, Punic wars or Roman Republican army?

Hermes is not on Jstor, and like Historia, is not available electronically. Many years ago I got in contact with Professor Thompson to discuss his paper on Bagradas. Like all who have read it, it is hard to understand his definition of the maneuvers of the armies as there are no diagrams. Professor Thompson was kind enough to send me hand drawn diagrams on graph paper of the maneuvers. Not sure if I agree with some of the maneuvers as they would be extremely difficult to conduct, and they are not mentioned in the Hellenistic military manuals.
D D I can send you dozens of other academic papers on the Roman army, Polybius, Hellenistic Warfare and the Punic Wars.
