Books
Romans
The recently released 2nd edition of Romans is a great gift not just for history lovers, but also for connoisseurs of art and photography as well. Stef Verstraaten uses his medium-format camera to beautiful effect, capturing not just the costumes but the personalities of Roman reenactors in stunning detail. Available in a sensible A4 softcover format, it's a great deal at just €25.00 EUR. Or, if you prefer a more impressive gift, be sure to check out Stef's companion piece, Richman/Poorman, which take a similar look at medieval reenactors. It's available in a large-format hardcover edition.

The Art of Ancient Warfare
If you enjoy Ancient Warfare magazine, or just can't get enough of epic artwork depicting battles and soldiers in the ancient world, then The Art of Ancient Warfare is for you! This book complies some of the best pieces we've commissioned for the first 50 issues of the magazine, all in one place. It also includes behind-the-scenes commentary from our staff and insight into the production process.

Dacia, The Roman Wars, Volume 1
Written and illustrated by the talented Radu Oltean, this history of the late-first and early-second century AD wars between Dacia and Rome is a perennial favorite with our readers (and with good reason). The 150-page softcover contains a detailed history of the period, along with numerous pieces of beautiful artwork. Radu's work has appeared in Ancient Warfare Magazine and National Geographic just to name a few, and he is currently the cover artist for Ancient History magazine. This is another great buy at just €25.00 EUR.
