The Armatura Press is a small press (a very small
press... in fact, more a sort of gentle squeeze) devoted to
publishing books, e-books, and websites on subjects relating to the
Roman army. We also provide a wide range of services to other
archaeological publishers.
Why Armatura? The armatura was the weapons drill taught
to both Roman soldiers and gladiators by skilled instructors and,
as such, was fundamental to both the training and fighting skills
of the Roman soldier. Even if he never actually fought an enemy, a
soldier would practice the armatura every day.
Situated in the rolling hills of the Scottish borders, we are
permanently surrounded and constantly inspired by - and
occasionally tripping over - traces of the presence of the Roman
army.
