I almost forgot about this book:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roman-Military- ... 021&sr=1-2

Anyone who knows if it really will be available in October 2008?!

Douh!

Not listed in the Amazon US data base...

Not fair -- perhaps once it is released it will hit our side of the Atlantic.

First we have to wait for the Playmobil Egyptians and now this!

Thanks for the link, Virilis.

Shoot ! You're right, Narukami.
I couldn't find it here either.

Under 'Product Details' it says "July 1, 2009"...

That can't be right though, can it :?: :?

When I get any certain dates for publication, you chaps will be the first to know.

Jasper will probably get a review copy!

No, sir, we'll the be third. The publishers first, then you, and then us.

Ahem. Just setting the record straight.

Well probably you will know before me because in both this case and with 'Arms and Armour of the Roman Soldier', I learnt of the details from this site first!!! :roll: :wink:

And thus we see the respect with which the Publisher treats the Writer.

Does anyone know if this is going to be new materiel, or a condensing of the 3 Osprey volumes he's already written?

At the very least I suspect it will cite more evidence that couldn't be included in the original books due to space limitations. The conclusions will doubtless be the same but we should see some new color plates Smile

If the book was a simple compilation of the first three then Osprey would surely be publishing it. They've released such compilation books in the past, such as "Caesar's Legions" and "Barbarians Against Rome."
