| Romano-Byzantine Armies, 4th-9th Century (Men-At-Arms (Osprey)) (Taschenbuch) von David Nicolle, A. McBride | ||||||||

Informative text harmonized with attractive illustrations. • • • • • (bewertet mit 4 von 5 Punkten) I bought this one for the same reasons that I bought the title _Late Roman Infantryman_ which is also from Osprey military books, and one which I have also reviewed for Amazon.com. I do a lot of research on the historical origins of Arthurian myths, and books like these cover the right general areas of the world in roughly the right period (see also my review of Osprey's _Arthur and the Anglo-Saxon Wars_). Osprey books offer a good ballance of text and illustrations to convey information to the reader in a way which is both efficient and entertaining. This is far preferable to books which have either too high a text-to-illustration ratio or too high an illustration-to-text ratio. My only complaint about these books is that their photographs of period art are printed in black & white, so one often misses some of the spectacular color and detail found in ancient mosaics, frescos, or manuscript illuminations. Printing everything in color would, of course, make these books more expensive, but that might still be worth it depending on how you look at it. Each of these books does, however, feature a series of full color illustrations in the middle. These beautifully portray the appearance and activities of the troops under study.
