Explore the Egyptian war machine of the New Kingdom and discover how it was supplied and how it fought, the use of logistics and rations, as well as the designs of hand weapons and bows. Many pieces of kit have been reconstructed for the book, giving the reader a very immediate sense of what an Egyptian warrior's equipment looked like.
The 3rd century was a turbulent and testing time for the Empire. This work looks at the new styles of arms and armour comparing construction, use and effectiveness to the more familiar types of Roman kit used by soldiers in earlier wars. The changes enabled the empire to adapt--to emerge in the 4th century able to tackle the challenges of a new age.
