Indeed very sad news.

Sad news indeed. I felt fortunate enough that I was able to correspond with him on a couple of occasions.

Ares publishing is about to republish his revised works on Roman Auxiliary Forces.

Good grief -- just heard the sad news tonight. (I hadn't noticed this post on RAT.) I hadn't corresponded with Denis for a while, but his insight into the Roman auxilia will be sadly missed.
