Ave,
Has anyone got, seen or read the three books written by Barbara Pferdehirt?
The details are as follows:-
Die Rolle des Militärs für den sozialen Aufstieg in der römischen Kaiserzeit / Barbara Pferdehirt
Mainz, RGZM (2002) ISBN 3-88467-069-7
Römische Militärdiplome und Entlassungsurkunden in der Sammlung des Römisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseums / Barbara Pferdehirt
Mainz, RGZM (2004) ISBN 3-88467-086-7
The subject matter is, wait for it, Roman Military Diplomas. A subject matter of great interest to me.
Please see the following:-

I'm trying to find out the following information:-
01. Has there been a review, in English, of any or all of these books?
02. If there has, can you copy and paste it to this topic or provide a link?
03. What are the contents of these books?
04. Are there pictures and the full Latin texts of each diploma?
05. How many diplomas are included in each book?
06. Are the books unique or are diplomas replicated in the 2004 books?
07. Are there diplomas that are unique and have not been published elsewhere?
08. What was your personal view of the books?
Vale
