I just sent him an email with congratulations.

Ivan must be thrilled to be on the cover! Big Grin

EDITED: the cover was photoshopped! Authari was 'added' behind Ivan to hide some modern visitors, and a vexillum was added to my hasta! Big Grin D D D

I think the men from Errance have to send a free copy to Ivan, in concept of "rights of image"... :wink:

Just got this today... A brilliant book, absolutely packed full of useful, well-presented information (wish my French was better though) and the photographs show that their kit standards are so very high.

If you're a later Roman enthusiast; this is one for your bookshelf.

The downside- well it's made me very, very jealous indeed!!!!!

Well done Alain, Francois & crew!

I second Dan's opinion (including about the French language). I received my copy a few days ago (thanks Alain!) and I've read it cover to cover (dictionary in hand). Almost a hundred pages (first 40 covering the 3rd c.) with many many colour images, plus a section of drawings of the Field Army shield designs from the Notitia Dignitatum! Indeed a 'must-have' for all LR enthusiasts... Well done, Alain and François!

Just got my copy, well done Confusedhock: ! I must admit that those guys depicting the Dura Europos soldiers must be closest to the "real thing" in terms of athmosphere I have ever seen in re-enactment. This book is worth the price only for the Notitia Dignitatum drawings!

Well, that's what Photoshop can do for you. Big Grin Have you spotted the other 'shopped' images?
