WARFARE IN NEW KINGDOM EGYPT

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.
