Drawing on written records, coins, inscriptions, and other archaeological evidence, the authors present a detailed picture of how the Roman cavalryman and his horse were equipped.

This companion to the author's authoritative survey Roman Infantry Equipment covers the long period from the accession of Diocletian (284) to the death of Heraclius (641), of which the central event is the end of the Western Empire in favor of Byzantium. Systematically, Stephenson looks at the evolution of the different components of armor and weaponry—helmets, shields, body armor, the spear, blades and bludgeons, missile weapons, and artillery. He also examines the tactical uses made of infantry, cavalry, and the shieldwall.

As a result of the Battle of Hastings the late Anglo-Saxon army has had a bad press. But it also had its victories - Stamford Bridge and campaigns in Scotland and Ireland. Taking a close look at its history, organisation, tactics and equipment, Ian Stephenson concludes that the army in the late Anglo-Saxon state was a part of the mainstream of military developments in this era. Moreover, in terms of tactical diversity the late English army was not only adaptive but also innovative, taking over continental ideas and changing them to suit the conditions of warfare that affected the late English state. This is the first book exclusively devoted to the Anglo-Saxon army; the existing books are either on the Vikings or the Normans.
