Example: Book#2 New archaeological discoveries, combined with reconstruction of and practical experiments with Roman military equipment, are today changing long-held theories about what the Roman soldier actually looked like, how he lived, marched and fought. In this book, for the first time, the 500-year story of the evolution of the Roman Legionary, his armour and equipment is told not by means of the usual artists' impressions, but in vivid colour photographs of Museum quality reconstructions. |

| DANIEL PETERSON has been active in the field of 'living history' for years. He is the organiser of one of the most accurate Roman reconstruction groups, and a member of the world's only authentically reconstructed Roman cavalry unit. He and his comrades are much more than 're-enactors': authentically armoured and equipped, preparing and eating authentic rations, sleeping in authentically reconstructed leather tents, and carrying out rigorous marches, training and battle simulations, they are true 'experimental archaeologists', gaining new insights into the greatest army in Western history. | |
