Dear Graham,
I can wait till October!
But as Aitor said, a .pdf scan via email would also be ok and would save you a lot of money (the dromedarii article was also transfered successfully).
Aitor, Dan and Robert, do you think modern felt as the basic material would be adequate, provided it is made of 100% sheep wool ?
If yes, Caius, do you know if the huge draper's shop at Augsburg has something in store ?
(I have found a source for natural colored 5 mm wool felt, but the running meter costs over 54 €!).
If no, does anybody know a place from where I can get hand made felt without killing my bank account ?
Although the De Rebus Bellicis seems to have been written by an armchair strategist (like Vegetius), the Anonymus on Strategy from the early 6th century was probably more experienced with military details
(G.T. Dennis suggests he was something like an army engineer).
Vale,
Flavius Promotus/Aurelius Florianus
