SUMMARY: I have a pdf of the first issue, and seen the cover of the second - I don't know if there are any more than that, and I'd certainly love to find a copy of the second issue - I enjoyed reading the first issue. I've seen one reference to Volume II coming out in 2009. Erik has the first issue as a free download and the second can be bought. The second volume focuses on the rare Roman armor known as Lorica Hamata Squamataque, or LHS for short. This appears to be scales attached to a mail shirt.

HOW TO MAKE THIS MAGAZINE CATALOG SEARCHABLE:
METHOD ONE(downside is it takes some effort and time):
1. Open a blank page in your favorite word processing program.
2. Right click and "SELECT ALL"
3. Right click and "COPY"
4. "PASTE" or CTRL"V" what you copied into the blank page(it could take a while depending on the size of the page)
5. Use the search function as you normally would. Try to stick to only one word, since authors will sometimes use their middle initial, then not, change names, etc.
6. Trash the blank page when you're done.

METHOD TWO(downside is you have to wade through a lot of HTML code to read the entries):
1. Right click and "VIEW SOURCE". This will bring up a second window that will give you a behind-the-stage look at my coding along with the entries. There is a search function on source pages. Use it as you would the search function for a word processor(see METHOD 1). Close the Source page when you're done.
