Ave all,
Thank you for your help and guidance.
I took delivery of "Römische Militärdiplome und Entlassungsurkunden in der Sammlung des Römisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseums" by Barbara Pferdehirt, Mainz, RGZM (2004) ISBN 3-88467-086-7 this morning.
The package was well wrapped and consisted of two books:-
Book 1 contains the texts of 64 diplomas with detailed analysis of each, formatted and presented as is the RMD series. It also includes 8 fragments and 3 discharge certificates from the 3rd century. Once again, following the practice extablished by the RMD series, indicies are included at the back of the book. This book is written in a mixture of Latin and German.
Book 2 contains the images upon which Book 1 was based. Great care has been taken to ensure all images are sharp and readable.
I highly recommend these books to all aspiring diploma enthusiasts. In fact, if you already own the RMD series, these books are "must have" additions to your library.
They cost me 87.40 euros, 73 for the books plus 14.40 postage and packing. They were sent from Germany on the 14th and I received them in the U.K. on the 16th. Pretty quick, eh? They can be obtained direct from the address contained in an earlier post from Martin within this topic.
I'm in diploma heaven. I'll be engaged in a diploma analysis and entry-fest for the next few days.
Vale
