Magnificently decorated shields were as much a defensive necessity as a symbol of social status. Equally, decorative symbols on shields and armor defined the collective ideals and the self-conceived important of the village or city-state its warriors represented. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSuch items were therefore of great significance to the wearers, and the authors of this astounding detailed and extensively researched book, have brought together years of research and the latest archaeological discoveries, to produce a work of undeniable importance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDecorated Roman Armour\u003c\/i\u003e is richly decorated throughout, and as well as battlefield armor, details the tournament and parade armor from Rome's earliest days. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr Raffaele D'Amato is an experienced Turin-based researcher of the ancient and medieval military worlds.
