Books

Decorated Roman Armor: From the Ages of the Kings to the Death of Justinian the Great

Decorated Roman Armor: From the Ages of the Kings to the Death of Justinian the Great Magnificently decorated shields were as much a defensive necessity as a symbol of social status.

Such items were therefore of great significance to the wearers, and the authors of this astounding detailed and extensively research book, have brought together years of research and the latest archaeological discoveries, to produce a work of undeniable importance. This book is richly decorated throughout, and details battlefield, tournament, and parade armor from Rome's earliest days. $50.00 USD
