Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
This publication presents a unique study investigating the complex weapon culture of the Iron Age in Northern and Central Europe. The study is based on a comprehensive corpus of 2,000 weapon graves, covering the period from 200 BCE to 400 CE, and sheds light on the development of weaponry, the dynamics of warfare and the exchange of technology across the region. The book contributes a new understanding of the intricate interplay of factors that influenced the development and spread of weapons during a bloody era, which is otherwise only one-sidedly and unreliably illuminated by contemporary Roman sources. It is the first coherent study of Iron Age weapon culture since Martin Jahn's Die Bewaffnung der Germanen (1916), and the first ever analysis of the period's weapon chronology using correspondence analysis for all the regions collectively referred to by the Romans as Germania. The book also presents a new typology and chronology for Roman swords, as well as a new chronology for the Roman imports of bronze objects and glass deposited in graves north of the Roman frontier. Published in cooperation with Museum West.
