Okay, I'm convinced, it exists: I've seen a couple of copies.
Now is as good a time as any to point out that three members of RAT have made important contributions to the volume.
Andy Brozyna designed the cover for us (and with this edition we have one of which we are proud, rather than that of the first which just made us go 'eh?' because it contained so many curious design decisions).
Jim Bowers produced a digital reconstruction for the colour plate section of an early 2nd-century AD legionary to our specification that looked thoroughly unpleasant.
A third member (a lurker who shall remain anonymous: he knows who he is;-) very kindly allowed us to use colour photos of some particularly interesting items.
I can't help but feel the book is better than it might have been thanks to the contributions of these three.
So get 'em while they're hot 'cos there won't be a B&C3! If you find glitches, typos, or any other cock-ups (it's a technical printing term and not nearly as rude as you might think) let me know and I'll put the corrections on the book's web site.
