I got this book today and found it beautiful! Contains excellent color photographs of soldiers and their equipment. I recommend this title to everybody who wants the best pictures!
Here is link to Amazon:

Aww, Dan Peterson will be so pleased with that comment!

:lol:
This book is really excellent for the best impression of roman soldiers from hoplite to the late army. I haven't found better photos on internet or in other books!

You`re absolutely right, Titus!
I can relate to your enthusiasm about the book. There were some thoughts about publishing a same kind of book about roman cavalry some time ago. Pictures about sarmatian influenced cataphracts and early byzantine cavalry.... Dream that perhaps never comes true :wink: ...
My only complaint about the "Roman Legions Recreated in Colour Photographs" is that there are no photos of the evolution of the roman swords. There are no Gladius Hispanienses, Pompeii Gladius or late spathas with their blades exposed.... Still, a must for a re-enactor!

Hmm...It's pitty.
It would be excellent to have a new enlarged edition of Roman Legions Recreated in Colour Photographs including missing items, then the book would be PERFECT (then I will give six stars from five :lol: ).
Mr. Peterson, I salute you!
