Don't keep us in suspense! Is it good and do you recommend that we spend our hard earned denarii on it?<br>

I looked at the book in the British museum to-day. The things I found mosr interesting (and there are many) are:-<br>
a/ The leather scale thigh armour for cavalry<br>
b/ The felt hat worn under the helmet as protection against "blunt trauma". Looks like a Phrygian hat with a long neck protector. In the context of a Roman helmet, makes a lot of sense to avoid some serious headaches after being hit by a sword/ stick/ pointy thing!<br>

Any reference to a mail hood and manica? <p></p><i></i>

"and worth the price?"<br>
<br>
Fo me, £95 was over the top as the big findsI have pics of elsewhere. However, it is a great and comprehensive tome that must be THE work on the Roman army of the period.<br>
<br>
I didn't spot a mailed hood-indeed the author comments at how few helmets were found. Manicae- didn't spot a reference, but I could have missed it. <p></p><i></i>

I'm still waiting for my copy. Oxbow surely has hired again the services of Michael Strogo(no)ff to carry my book. By now he must be still swimming across the Channel...<br>
