Although extremely expensive, this work is the "bible" on Roman armor and a must-have reference for any serious student of the legionary soldier of Ancient Rome. Good, clean copies of this book are not often available, so my advice to the prospective purchaser is, if you see a solid copy on the market...bite the bullet and buy it!

I'm lucky enough to own this book. If you can get your hands on this book you need to beg borrow and steal to pay whatever purchase price is asked. More Roman helmets from the republican to the principate than any other reference in print. Robinson makes short commentary on most helmets and there are invaluable photos of the real finds and his much copied reconstructions. This is THE book to own if you are serious about Roman reenactment and armour reproduction.

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2001
A comprehensive and authoritative study on Roman military equipment: helmets and armor, that established the classifications for all scholars to follow. An absolute treasure and wonderful reference: if you're lucky enough to find a copy. Printed once in large format in 1975, it is occasionally available through used book sources, and you can expect to pay $100 to $300 for a copy.

Very pleased with this purchase. This is a book I have wanted since publication but never got round to buying until now. The book was as described and in very good condition.
