The Ninth Roman Military Equipment Conference was one of the more ambitious of the series incorporating, for the first time, research on weaponry beyond the Roman frontier. The theme deliberately provoked discussion about the significance of the context of finds. Why do we find particular objects in certain types of contexts? Should complete finds be regarded as representative or abnormal? Are pit contexts really suggestive of refuse disposal? Many of these essays review traditonal answers to such questions. Contents: L'equipement militaire d'epoque republicaine en Gaule (Michel Feugere), Some observations on Roman militaria of ivory (Claus von Carnap-Bornheim), Dekorierte Gladii und Cingula: Eine ikonographische Statistik (Ernst Kunzl), Romische Dolche - Bemerkungen zu den Fundumstanden (A.

Jones), Roman cavalry helmets in ritual hoards from the Kops Plateau at Nijmegen (H.L.H. van Enckevort and W.J.H. Willelms), Les armes romaines de la Saone:etat des decouvertes et donnees recentes de fouilles (L. Bonnamour and A. Dumont), Fruhkaiserzeitliche Militaria aus einem Altrheinarm bei Xanten-Wardt (Hans-Joachim Schalles), Romische Schwerter im Gebiet des europaischen Barbaricum (Marcin Biborski), Waffen im mitteleuropaischen Barbaricum (Michael Erdrich), Military equipment on the territory of Slovakia (E. Krekovic!), The Roman swords from Danish bog finds (Ulla Rald), The re-use of Roman military equipment in barbarian contexts (Katarzyna Czarnecka).

5.0 out of 5 stars
I found this one a valuable addition to my collection.,
By Caius Fabius "caiusfabius" (Oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journal of Roman Military Equipment Studies 5:Military Equipment in Context (Journal of Roman Military Equipment Studies , Vol 5) (Paperback)
There are 15 articles in this work, 7 are in English, 2 are in French and 6 are in German. There are basic translations on the website, but the photos and drawings need little translation. The maps of the finds, and the excellent article on the Newstead Pits was why I started this, but the article on Republican Roman era finds in Gual was an added bonus, If you want something on Late Roman Helmets, this is good, and the finds in Slovakia are an added bonus. The discussion of scale and chain mail and weapons found in Slovakia with the excellent drawings helps me in my reconstruction of Roman armor. If you are serious, add this to your library.
