Emporical Images of the Ancient World
With special (p)reference to militaria.
Photos from the collection of Dan Diffendale, more or less.
The scope of this site is generally Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Near East in the pre-modern period. The focus is generally miltary equipment and representations, but is really limited only by my own whims, resources and abilities. The basis is my own collection of digital photographs, but this has been supplemented where necessary and/or desirable. *NOTE:* This site will never be "complete" or "finished." I envision it as a perpetual work-in-progress: it will change as I go new places, take new pictures, add new information and revise old information. Speaking of which, if you have a question for me, or newer or better information than what I've got up, or just want to say 'hi,' send me an email: diffendale |at| gmail |dot| com (Subject something like 'Emporical Images', or better just put 'quinquireme' or 'Samnite' in the subject. Those always grab my attention quickly). If you want/need a larger resolution of any of these images, I might have one. If the pop-up is already on the small side, it's probably the best I've got, but feel free to check. Anything I write in these pages should be checked up independently, though I generally try not to lie outright.
