You're welcome. About a third of the way through- keep coming across pictures of stuff I didn't know existed- some of which is no longer even accessible in museums. Plus literary references that I likewise didn't know about. And Graham's pictures are great.
Personally, and as a complete amateur, I don't always agree with some of the conclusions in the text (e.g. you'll all enjoy the leather lorica section) , but it is comprehensively footnoted and sourced so the reader can make his or her own mind up.
Huge amounts of scholarship and work have gone into this. A must have.
