Hello Chuck
There are more hats, some of which will be published in my latest book 'Roman Military Dress' out soon. They will blow your socks off, that is if you are wearing any!

Right, Mr. Sumner, and that will be more confusion for future anthropologists, who will write theses about the logic of 21st Century people wearing 1st Century wool udones, and the reasons and methods for their having been exploded across a dozen countries' landscapes. I can hardly wait. Wish I could be there to hear their explanations!
When will the book be out, approximately, in the US?

Imagine what will happen if a re-enactor is buried in full gear and their body is the first of any 21st century individual to be excavated by future archaeologists and all photographic and computer sources have been lost!
The book is due for release this summer.

They'll insist that time travel had been a reality, I'd imagine.

Crassus. He squealed. Besides that, he has a lean and hungry look. Maybe it wasn't a squeal, maybe his stomach just growled.
