An excellent discussion of the equipage of the groups, 27 Nov 1997
By A Customer
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.

Relevance to UK Reenactment, 22 Dec 1999
By A Customer
The book is indeed excellent. It uses the photos to full effect and really shows off the best societies from the periods covered. It does not pretend to be an authoratitive work on the 5th Century, more ideas, discussions and historical reproductions which is somewhat refreshing. As an avaid student of history I learnt a lot, as a UK re-enactor it really impressed me and gave me something to strive for. The listing of suppliers at the rear of the book was especially useful. Overall, well worth the money...
