I found this book to be excellent. It included the late Roman Empire equipage that I had missed from the series' other book on the Romans, as well as the Scotti and Pict raiders, the Saxon invaders, the Vikings, and the Normans. The focus of the book is on how a re-enactor might recreate the arms, armors, and clothing of these groups and I, as one who likes to draw ancient soldiers, found it to be most useful.

Very comprehensive, very colourful, clear informative text which tells the reader the difference between what is speculation and what has been found. Good period range.

A book about Romano Brittish (or "arthurian warriors"), Saxons, Vikings ans Normans, during the Dark Ages.
This book is full illustrated, with reenactors pictures and outstanding drawings.
Dan shadrake is the first one who begun the romano-brittish and late roman reenactment in Europ.
