The work delves into the military equipment and warfare practices of various cultures across Europe, specifically from the Iron Age through the end of the 13th century. The text likely focuses on the evolution of arms and armor, intricately linked to the corresponding social and military changes amid the conquests and interactions among the peoples of Europe. The opening of the book establishes the context of European history during the transition from the Roman Empire to the rise of northern tribes, such as the Celts and Teutons. Hewitt provides an overview of the major racial and cultural shifts that contributed to the development of weaponry and military tactics, emphasizing the reliability of historical sources and archaeological finds in reconstructing pasts. It sets the foundation for further exploration of the specific types of armaments and their significance across various periods, underscoring the importance of thorough documentation and accurate representation in understanding ancient military practices.
