Book Synopsis Arms and Armour of the Warrior Saints by : Piotr Grotowski
Book excerpt: This study investigates whether military equipment shown in images of warrior saints reflects items used by the mid-Byzantine Army or repeats Classical forms. This in turn answers questions on the originality of Byzantine art and its reliability as a historical source.
