Question: I have a deduction from studies and ancient Roman paintings. The oroginal Romans were different in appearances than maodern Europeans to be sure. The later paintings(late Romans),the Romans looked like a cosompolitan cities of today.
Where did the originals go? They all just mix in to oblivian?
Their appeareances(early)can be studied, they were a very sinewy muscular type in body, unlike anything you can find today. a couple of inches shrter than moderns perhaps, maybe similar.(However original alwys burned their dead ,so we zero on this,just paintings) They had a fierce body type that can explain their physical success beyond just training. Cannot find this in many late Roman paintings.
However, another charcteristic is that the original Romans did not have attractive facial charcteristics at all! Later period seem to alleviate this.
Modern Europeans anywhere do not resemble the original Romans, so strange.
Does anybody think the the originals were a seperate 'racial'type than moden humans? Perhaps, just perhaps they may be. |

As far as I can tell Europeans have naturally become taller through decent diet and health care.

Hello all,
My Dad introdued me to the books with my dread fasination with everything Roman, I finished all the Eagles books including Centurion and needed a further Eagles fix so Googled Scarrow to see if any further books are due, and stumbled across this Forum.

Gladius introduced me to it.
I think it should be advertised more though, maybe in the back of Simon Scarrows books.

I tried to order a signed copy of the new Napolean & Wellington book to be published in January. I discovered Goldsboro would not carry it and e-mailed Hatchard's and ordered my copy. I googled your name to try to locate book sellers who might carry your book, but no joy.

Is the pre-order option available for it already? I can't find it.
"To be clear-headed rather than confused; lucid rather than obscure; rational rather than otherwise; and to be neither more, nor less, sure of things than is justifiable by argument or evidence. That is worth trying for."

It's not listed yet. usually add it about 4 weeks before release date. which is still currently early January.
I've not heard of it being released before xmas, would be cool if it were.... 
Soon as Pre-ordering is open, I'll post on here to let you all know.
