Scrimia antiqua
Overview
"Scrimia Antiqua" is a 60+ pages volume including the history and evolution of weaponry from the rise of the Roman Empire to the end of the 18th century. I’ve made a thorough academic research on nomenclatures to be sure of the accuracy of the findings, supported by teachers and historians of the main fencing academy of Rome “Accademia Romana d’Armi”.

Design choices
This volume has a hardcover binding to increase its quality. It has a very flexible grid with 12 columns, with more than 100 cut out images. Each chapter has a general introduction of the era, explaining how weapons were used, the technical terminology of each component and the historical period when they have been in production and in use. The color palette changes with each chapter and I’ve chosen pale pastel shades to convey an antique flavor. I have used two different styles of captions to distinguish between nomenclature of the object and additional information. The example below is from the armor chapter.
