Re: Accuracy of Osprey book "Early Roman armies"
Interesting. In EB the Camillan Hastati and Principes both have the curved lozenge "scutum" shield, though with slightly different patterns on them. Would it be possible in EB II to vary the shield shape within a unit so that some have the current "scutum" and other have a flat oval "thureos"?

You should check out some of Osprey's other books.
I find their books on armies from East Asia to be a bit strange. In one of their editions, they depicted all of the soldiers with extremely small and squinty eyes.

Re: Accuracy of Osprey book "Early Roman armies"
When did Rome (if ever) wear the classic "hollywood" style uniforms?
I just read a small introduction to the period "roman warfare" but it did not show these types of gear until on a column maybe 150AD

Re: Accuracy of Osprey book "Early Roman armies"
When you say "classical hollywood style uniforms" I think you mean Lorica Segmenta which was used during the first and second centuries A.D. so 150AD would fit in its timeline.
What the heck are you talking about??

Re: Accuracy of Osprey book "Early Roman armies"
the Osprey addition for east asia (china, mongolia, Japan). All the depictions really do have beady eyes, kinda like larry linville, only beadier.
I think the artist was trying to depict the east asian's (again, chinese, japanese, etc) eyes. needless to say, his results were less than satisfactory.

Re: Accuracy of Osprey book "Early Roman armies"
