The authors of this book have gathered a wealth of evidence from all over the Roman Empire - excavated examples as well as pictorial and documentary sources - to present a picture of what range of equipment would be available at any given time, what it would look like and how it would function. They examine how certain pieces were adopted from Rome's enemies and adapted to particular conditions of warfare prevailing in different parts of the Empire. They also investigate in detail the technology of military equipment and the means by which it was produced, and discuss wider questions such as the status of the soldier in Roman society.
Both the specially prepared illustrations and the text have been completely revised for the second edition of this detailed and authoritative handbook, first published in 1993, fully taking into account more than a decade of new finds, numerous publications and an international explosion of research in the subject. It illustrates each element in the equipment of the Roman soldier, from his helmet to his boots, his insignia, his tools and his weapons. This book will appeal to archaeologists, ancient and military historians, re-enactors, modellers, and wargamers, as well as the generally informed and inquisitive reader.
