Dan,

Aside from the articles I'm researching, if 'Roman Battle Tactics, 390-110 BC', gets the go-ahead, I plan to include discussion of the tactics of other Italic peoples, especially the Samnites.

Aside from the copyright issue and rubbish pay, I've never been happy with the lack of control over the artwork. I submit design briefs and hope for the best. I'm fairly happy with the plates for RBT, but a few minor anachronistic elements have crept in (though that won't come as a surprise to RAT members).
How about Tempus?

Hi Robert,

Tempus still has first option on 'The Roman Infantry Battle', if I ever write it (what I did write was rubbish, except for the wee bit that became 'The Clashing of Weapons and Silent Advances in Roman Battles', Historia 56.1, pp. 114-117). The original idea was to cover the period from the Punic Wars to the late fourth or fifth century AD, with a theme of essential continuity rather than change in tactics. I'm not sure if I'd still do it that way.
