Spätrömische Militärausrüstung

Proceedings of the Eleventh International Roman Military Equipment Conference, including

Survey of the mechanical weaponry used in the late Roman army, including heavy weapons such as crew-operated arrow catapults and stone throwers, and lighter weapons operated by a single person, such as crossbow-like weapons of two different types (in German).

A reconsideration of the remains of a cuirass recovered from a pit at Newstead, including a detailed examination of the surviving components, discussion of the problems encountered in previous attempts to reconstruct the cuirass, and consideration of other finds of the same type of armour as well as iconic evidence from Alba Iulia. The author looks at dating evidence and at the question of whether the related finds are variants or a single type, before proposing a new reconstruction and concluding with a discussion on the design's place in the development and history of Roman armour.

Reconsideration of the belief that Roman authorities exercised a ban on the export of weapons beyond the boundaries of the Empire, including a re-analysis of the relevant texts.
