It's a lot cheaper!
Did Adrian Goldsworthy have anything to do with the original? He's in it this time around it seems.

Aside from an extra preface by Goldsworthy (it doesn't replace Scullard's), the Samnites section has been revised and the Caudine Forks painting reworked. I don't think there is anything else new. The pagination remains the same but the Samnites section is substantially different.

Guys, can you please be more specific? Is there a more up-to-date edition than the 1998 one with appendixes?

(btw The Caudine forks painting is the same one, but cropped more generously this time around.)

Hi Duncan,
I should have made that clear. It is the same painting, but some of the equipment in the scene has been changed and the 'banners' have become tunics hung from the Samnites' spears as spoils. The changes are neatly done but it hardly justifies buying the new ed.

It's still far cheaper than the secondhand copies I've ALMOST managed to buy (that suddenly turn out to be unavailable, including WHSmith)

Updated Samnites, eh? Hmmm... guess I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Hasn't he added some Hispaniensis blade pictures too ?
