Cheers Matt! I have another illustration project which may be of even more interest to you to complete first. So at the moment I am scheduled to start on the illustrations for the second volume, which technically is part 3, early next year. Add about six months from delivery for publication, so a nice Christmas present might be in order.

a"pseudo-revisionist return to the sculpture inspired antiquarian way of envisioning the Roman Army" - love that phraseology!

Thanks Paul, I wonder if that will appear on the cover of future editions! :|

Despite all that, and having got over my first impressions of the book, I would recommend it, but only to those with a thorough grasp of the subject - worth having if only because it contains a good pictorial survey of much of the sculptural etc evidence.......

That was my impression also. Use it like Nicolle's Arms and Armour of the Crusading Era and ignore any subjective commentary.

No, they'll probably run with '...inspired ... way of envisioning the Roman Army'...

We're talking publishers, after all ;-) )
