{"product_id":"germanic-warrior-ad-236-568-simon-macdowall-9781855325869","title":"Germanic Warrior AD 236-568","description":"The 3rd to the 6th centuries saw the collapse of the classical Mediterranean civilization and the emergence of new states in western Europe based on the Germanic warrior society. This book focuses particularly on the men who made up the retinues of the Germanic warlords who carved kingdoms out of the carcass of the West Roman Empire. Although sources are scarce, Simon MacDowall constructs a convincing picture, using evidence from Roman historians, German archaeology and Anglo-Saxon poetry. The warriors' society, hierarchy, training, equipment, appearance, tactics and style of fighting are all examined, building a comprehensive portrait of the Germanic warrior in this period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Macdowall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1855325861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855325869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.78h x 7.24w x 0.21d","brand":"Simon Macdowall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984422732031,"sku":"9781855325869","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56e756b2-f0af-4aad-9047-78f2704f23c5.jpg?v=1683272224","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/germanic-warrior-ad-236-568-simon-macdowall-9781855325869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
