Hi Mike
In the past the chapters have been divided into period. Could it also be possible to sub-divide the chapters into regions too? I myself would like to know how in the various regions soldiers were equipped. How differently, if at all would a legionary look in Germany or Syria for example at the same period?
Presumably this will be down to study as well as survival of archaeological finds. However I imagine re-enactors as well as illustrators probably equip soldiers with all manner of gear from across the empire, which although from the right period is possibly presenting a false impression?
It would also be nice to see some very early Roman equipment too.
