Beautiful visual reference but it needs considerable revision
By Anibal Madeira
Since the eighties I don't remember any attempt to provide a comprehensive and complete visual guide of Roman military personnel and their enemies in one book. The WRG books gave a quick overview of the armies, battles and history providing dozens of simple line drawings. It was a great product for the time and many wargamers used it.
The author intelligently realized that there was no recent product to fill those needs; in thirty years there was nothing to substitute the very old WRG titles. Of course there are hundreds of titles which provide good illustrations, but nothing as comprehensive as the above mentioned books.
The production values of this book are of the highest standard with high quality pages, hard cover, very good coverage of all relevant time periods of roman history, and no big lacunas of Roman enemies or allies. The art work is truly amazing and congratulations are in order to Tom Croft, Simon Smith and Mathew Vince; obviously we must also commend the author which most probably provided valuable information and explanations to the artists. For that reason this book should be a must buy for modelers, wargamers, miniature painters, cinema and television art designers, etc.
Unfortunately this beautiful book has severe weaknesses that make it impossible for me to give the five stars that I believe a corrected and revised next edition will achieve. The mistakes in the text are indeed many and I will only mention a few illustrative examples.
- There are mistakes in naming places (like Vindobona that is refered as Vindabona in page 6 for example), persons, etc.;
- There are severe contradictions (like for example the hoplite formation sometimes being originally influenced by Etruscans others by Greeks (page 20/21); or the fact that in the text in page 34 Phillip the Arab was killed in action in 249, and exactly in the next sentence states that Decius is the first Roman emperor to be killed in action in 251);
- Photographs captions (the figures in the page 24 picture certainly doesn't show legionaries; the sashes mark them as officers, probably tribunes);
- Dates like the deeds of Agrippa (he died in 11BC it's impossible for him to have built anything in 25 AD) or the siege of Syracuse (it was fought between 214-212 BC, not 213-211 BC);
- Repeated mistakes like defending that there were 7 Etruscan kings in the Roman monarchical period, in fact according to tradition only 3 were Etruscans;
- Big, big mistakes like Carthaginian settlements in places like Madeira! I'm Portuguese and I can assure everyone that there is no Carthaginian settlement in Madeira. Probably the most ghastly mistake is where the author states that Sassanid's invade SPAIN in page 44! Confusing Caucasian Iberia with Hispania (today's Iberian Peninsula).
Those are just examples, there are many more. Although the illustrations are excellent they also have some flaws (I'm quite aware that it would be almost impossible to make hundreds of images without any mistakes). Here goes some needing correction: Sulla was blond; I'm not aware of any roman crossguard like the one portrayed in Constantine sword; the Vercingetorix image is the only illustration based on completely anachronistic material, it's clearly out of place (he probably wouldn't have such long hair, nor use La Tene bronze armor), the imaginifer of 2nd, 3rd cent on page 146 is carrying an imago of Julius Caesar which died in 44 BC, he should be using the imago of the current emperor).
This can become an iconic book for many target groups, but it needs a new revised edition; which I'm waiting expectantly so I can give a well deserved 5 stars to this project.

good overview
By Sithlord85
This is in overview of the Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire. It covers the Roman Republic, Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire and the enemies of the empire. It also includes ships and siege weapons. For more detail Greece and Rome at War is better, but if you want the Byzantine Empire this is right book. If you could have only 2 books on Roman uniforms get this book and Greece and Rome at War.

Encyclopedia of uniforms of the Roman world
By m ziemann
Excellent painting guide for this period in history. It would have been very useful when I was painting 25mm lead figures of this historical period. But, better a little later than never.
