Peter Connolly is to me what McBride is to BKB; he is a wonderful artist and a very good author who knows his stuff. His research has opened new doors, especially on the capabilities of ancient cavalry. I've been a fan of his ever since I found his Roman Legionary; and Roman cavalryman on a shelf in my local library when I was about 8. I remember begging non-stop for nearly half an hour when I finally found a copy of those books in a shop; I’d spent all my money already and since we were on the last day of our holiday that was my only chance. Good thing my parents thought history was good for me! That was the beginning of a prized collection; if there is a book he has written and I haven’t got then I don’t know it exists, so please tell me so I can buy it.
