"In ancient times, the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) was home to warriors of great renown. Spanish and Celtiberian warriors, both infantry and cavalry, provided the backbone of the Carthaginian armies that terrorized Italy under Hannibal and proved even more ferocious in defence of their homeland against later Roman occupation. The Lusitanian resistance under Viriathus was among the toughest the Romans encountered anywhere. Professor Quesada Sanz details the arms, armour and equipment of the various warriors of the region in fantastic detail, drawing on his intimate knowledge of the latest archaeological and historical research. His clear and informative text is supported throughout by a wealth of photographs, diagrams and exquisite colour artwork by Carlos Fernandez del Castillo. This beautiful book is a rare combination of detailed, comprehensive information and sumptuous visual appeal that will be cherished by anyone with an interest in the warriors and weapons of the ancient world. The Spanish edition won the Hislibris Award for the 'Best Historical Book' for 2010 and is here faithfully translated into English."

I have the original; it's a great book (and I don't even read Spanish properly), so if you've not got it I'd strongly recommend this translation to anyone interested in the period. |

I don't think the English version is yet available, despite the publication date. I had it on order and that was cancelled – the Amazon UK and Spain listing don't have any in stock. |

In the US Barnes and Noble list it for pre-order with a February shipping. Wal Mart has the pre-order and states that it will arrive by January 31st. Under $40 USD at both ($60 list) and Wal Mart has free 2 day shipping. Looks good. |
