Mine's arrived (with the big RAT discount) and it is a weighty tome!! Nice thing is that each section/ article is in a length to be read at one sitting.
Really enjoyed Kate Gilliver's article (the first I read) - and reading slowly through the rest. Must mention to Fatalis of the RMRS/ Leg XIIII GMV (and even Mestrius :wink: ) that some centurions were known to be still around and active in their 80s!
In the following article by James Thorne (Battle, Tactics and the Limites in the West) I also liked the idea that Hadrian's Wall was as much a raised patrol line as a wall to stop barbarians.
Any other questions (other than can I photocopy all 574 pages) let me know!
Cheers
