Thanks for the pointers. Actually, one thing I'm particularly interested in is Roman engineering - does anyone have any references on it?

This seems to be a perennial problem. In my reading on WW1, I've always been stymied by the lack of maps. (Of course, this is partially alleviated in the case of WW1 by the fact that the armys didn't do all that much moving...) What we need are a new generation of historians to really make use of the multimedia possibilites of the web to link text to 3d topo maps, photographs, etc. Of course, since most history (particularly academic history) seems to be written without any intention that it be read, this might be a forelorn hope...
