B.t.w. I've read all of H. Sidebottom's books (3) and found them terrific. Can't wait to get hold of the upcoming fourth !!

Re: 3rd Century Legionary
I'm thinking of purchasing this book myself: "The Fall of the Roman Empire: A New History of Rome and the Barbarians," by Peter Heather. Link: http://www.amazon.com/Fall-Roman-Emp.../dp/0195159543. To any of those who may have it already, is it a worthy read?

Re: 3rd Century Legionary
i don't have it but i think it's worth buying. Heather is one of the best known historians concerning late Roman empire.

It is, though it deals with the late 4th Century onwards.

They are interesting, but how he has been showing the Sassanians is horrible. They are more like Timur-i-Lenk`s murderous Central Asia hordes, how inept they are being showed in melee battles is total nonsense and the whole story follows a outdated view of West-East relationships.B.t.w. I've read all of H. Sidebottom's books (3) and found them terrific. Can't wait to get hold of the upcoming fourth !!
It is a pity, because due that bias of the author I consider those books as lost opportunities.

Re: 3rd Century Legionary
He doesn't show them as horrible, I've read the books rather thougroughly and he shows that the sassanids were much more powerful than the parthians as they were much more united. Their armies were therefore morepowerful and rome had to have a massive troop increase which caused economic collapse

Re: 3rd Century Legionary
Damn, I was hoping it'd start from the 3rd Century. Anyone know of a book like this one that starts from the century of crisis?

Re: 3rd Century Legionary
Absolutely.De gustibus non est disputandum.
I do look forward to seeing this mod ready to rock !!

Re: 3rd Century Legionary
Well... Gibbon, though certainly outdated nowadays, is still a very entertaining reading. Also Adrian's Goldworthy's "How Rome fell" covers the third century crisis on until Justinian. I'm not very fond of what he says or completely agree with his opinions but it meets your requirements, in terms of the time frame at least.

Your team members are a group of hard-working guys.Thank you all your work
Re: 3rd Century Legionary
These are 4th century legionaries, not 3rd century. The lorica segmentata was even still used at this time, plus a lot of hamata ofc, but the shields/helmets were pretty much the same as earlier (Trajans for instance) legion shields. These troops look something Constantine would use :-) Here you have full on scale armor troops with long "spathas" , a cross wouldnt be out of place on these units :-P
