In ancient times, the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) was
home to warriors of great renown. Spanish and Celtiberian warriors,
both infantry and cavalry, provided the backbone of the
Carthaginian armies that terrorized Italy under Hannibal and proved
even more ferocious in defence of their homeland against later
Roman occupation. The Lusitanian resistance under Viriathus was
among the toughest the Romans encountered anywhere. Professor
Quesada Sanz details the arms, armour and equipment of the various
warriors of the region in fantastic detail, drawing on his intimate
knowledge of the latest archaeological and historical research. His
clear and informative text is supported throughout by a wealth of
photographs, diagrams and exquisite colour artwork by Carlos
Fernandez del Castillo. This beautiful book is a rare combination
of detailed, comprehensive information and sumptuous visual appeal
that will be cherished by anyone with an interest in the warriors
and weapons of the ancient world. The Spanish edition won the
Hislibris Award for the 'Best Historical Book' for 2010 and is here
faithfully translated into English.
