The
year
of
122
was
the
first
time
a
Roman
Emperor
had
set
foot
in
the Province of Britannia since the
invasion in AD 43. No doubt he
had
read
many
reports
concerning
the damage
caused by
marauding
tribesmen crossing from what is now Scotland into the Province.
Hadrian, therefore, decided - in the words of his biographer - 'to build
a
wall
to
separate
the
Romans
from
the
Barbarians'.
This
engaging
work
from
author
Michael
Simkins
explores
in
depth
the
organisation,
equipment,
weapons
and
armour
of
the
Roman
Army
from
Hadrian
to
Constantine, one of the most exciting periods in Roman history.

used
the
ancient
Russian
Kettlebell
as
their
secret
weapon for xtreme fitness. Thanks to the kettlebells’s astonishing
ability
to turbocharge physical performance, these Soviet supermen
creamed their opponents time-and-time-again, with inhuman displays
of
raw

and
explosive
strength.
Now,

Though
the
'Scythian
period'
in
the
history
of
Eastern
Europe
lasted
little more than 400 years, the impression these horsemen made
upon
the
history
of
their
times
was
such
that
a
thousand
years
after
they
had
ceased
to
exist
as
a
sovereign
people, their
heartland
and
the territories which they dominated far beyond it continued to be
known as 'greater Scythia'. From the very beginnings of their
emergence
on
the
world
scene
the Scythians took part in the greatest
campaigns
of
their times, defeating such mighty contemporaries as
Assyria,
Urartu, Babylonia, Media and Persia. This highly illustrated
book details their costume, weapons and the way they waged war.

Although Sparta's early history is not clear, by the end of the 8th
century
most
of
the
other
cities
of
Lakedaimon
had
been
reduced
to
subject status. The Lakedaimonians were the only full time army in
ancient
Greece
and
were
thus
truly
an
elite
force.
The
institutions
of
the
state
and
the
system
of
education
were
organised
with
a
view
to
creating superbly trained soldiers. Nick Sekunda examines this
unique military machine in this book describing the organisational
systems
of
the
Spartan
army
through
the
Hellenistic
period,
how
they
were
trained,
the
battles
they
fought,
and
the
society
that
produced
them.

In the summer of 1982 Israel fought a war in southern Lebanon
against the Palestine Liberation Organisation, and in eastern
Lebanon
against
the
PLO
and
its
military
allies,
the
Syrians.
Initially
called
Operation
'Peace
for
Galilee',
this
conflict
became
one
of
the
most momentous and most controversial of modern times. While it
was
simple
enough
in
its
causes,
strategy,
tactics
and consequences,
the fact that it took place in Lebanon made it appear confusing to
people not familiar with the Byzantine politics of that unhappy
country.

Much myth and fantasy surrounds the events of the Wars of the
Roses: a bloody and prolonged dynastic struggle between the houses
of
York
and
Lancaster.
Terence
Wise's
fascinating
text
lays
bare
the
real
story,
and
examines
the armies, liveries and badges of the
conflict. The author's readable account provides a comprehensive
guide
as
to
who
fought
whom,
where,
when,
why
and
for
what,
from
the origins of the Wars to such famous battles as Tewkesbury and
Bosworth.
The
accompanying photographs, illustrations and colour
plates by Gerry Embleton clearly detail the arms, armour and
standards of the time.
