{"product_id":"italian-militiaman-1260-1392-9781855328266","title":"Italian Militiaman 1260 1392","description":"Medieval Italy was characterized by regular warfare among its numerous city-states, as well as internal strife within comunes as aristocratic factions fought each other for domination of the cities' governments. In this context, Italian warfare developed quickly, with the crossbow playing a key role in improving the armour technology of the Italian city militias that used them. This book traces the evolution of the Italian militiaman, providing a comprehensive view of all aspects of the late medieval Italian city militias, from the weaponry, attitudes and social backgrounds of their members, to the political context that made such formations necessary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855328266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.78h x 7.27w x 0.27d","brand":"David Nicolle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52259586638005,"sku":"9781855328266","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d30d6235-39f2-41fd-a484-51681a7d2a28.jpg?v=1771342337","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/italian-militiaman-1260-1392-9781855328266","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
