The Byzantine army, or Eastern Roman army, was a direct continuation of the Roman army, in fact it maintained a similar level of discipline, strategy power and organization. It had been among the most effective armies of western Eurasia for much of the Middle Ages. Our Paper Soldiers belong largely to a collection maintained by the NPL. Other sheets are the work of artists from our Soldiershop atelier.
