Celtic Two-Handers

[The Persian Cataphract]

Thanks for the information on the Sassanids (swords,saddles etc.), very interesting. I am woefully ignorant of that area of the world, I would like to get more acquainted with it. Any suggestions on a book that would give me a broad overview history of the region?

As for militarily-themed literature, easy to read, any Osprey and Montvert work will fit the bill.
