About this title

About the Author:

Michael Simkins is a respected author in the field of Ancient History, and he has written several titles for Osprey. He has a particular interest in and knowledge of the Roman Army in Britain, and is a keen re-enactor of this period. His interest extends to having personally recreated many of the weapon and armour pieces that the Roman legionaire would have worn and used at this time. The late Ronald Embelton was one of the earliest and most talented illustrators to have worked with Osprey. His unique style combined action and realism with meticulous attention to detail, winning him much affection and respect.

Synopsis:

As well as looking at Hadrian's Wall itself, this volume covers the evolution of armour, equipment and beliefs amongst the Romans involved in the building of the wall and their successors. Visitor information on some of the historic sites described in the book is included.
