Blackwell\'s Companion to the Roman Army DISCOUNT
#1
We've discussed this new compendium before and were amazed at the price (GBP 95), although such prices certainly aren't unusual for academic books. Blackwell's has contacted us and offer a big discount to RAT members. Go to http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/9781405121538 and enter RMNA6 when completing your order. That will give you a 50% discount!

This offer is valid until the end of 2007. You can pre-order your copy now and it will be sent to you upon publication in February 2007. Blackwell's assure me your creditcard will not be charged until then.
Greets!
