New Punic War book coming in 2024
A new Osprey Campaign Series No. 400 on the Punic Wars should be available for sale in 2024.
I received early sketches for the battle scenes drawn by Marco - https://marcocapparoni.com - and they look excellent. He replaced the great Peter Dennis -https://peterspaperboys.com/pages/about - who previously did the awesome battle scenes for Campaign Series 299 on the battle of Zama. You can take a closer look at it here: https://www.mirbahmanyar.com/blog/2020/6/23/hannibal-barca?rq=zama and https://www.mirbahmanyar.com/blog/2021/2/7/on-the-battle-of-zama-locations-and-pre-combat-positions-october-202-bc?rq=zama
Below are sketches Peter made before the final color plates. Lovely. I loved the originals so much I bought them where they now adorn my wall. Brilliant. Thanks Peter Dennis! And below those the Polish version of Zama - cool.
Looking forward to seeing the new book - a ton of research went into this one since it doesn’t cover just one battle or campaign. I know my long-time editor Nikolai will make it even better with his suggestions and attention to detail as he did with Zama.
