It has become obvious that there is a paucity of either artifacts, manuscript or artistic resources for the detailed study of this area. Yet, there are market forces to reward such a title...thus, this effort. Dr. Nicolle is to be thanked for his efforts yet, I am sure he remains unsatisfied with it. We have material for some figures in the plates, we have some fortification drawings, but trying to cover this area at the same scale as some of his other efforts is daunting.

Although the Byzantine Empire was a continuation of the Roman Empire and faced similar military problems, its solutions were very different. In North Africa, for example, Rome's large army concentrated on securing main roads and urban centres. Byzantium's smaller army built more fortifications and took a defensive stance. The most striking characteristic of later Byzantine military thinking was, however, the theme or provincial army system, which owed nothing to ancient Roman tradition. With eight superb full colour plates by Angus McBride, and many other illustrations, David Nicolle examines the history of Romano-Byzantine armies from 4th-9th centuries.
