Hi, Ian Heath's "Armies of the Middle ages" Vol 2 has several line drawings of late Byzantines. Concord Publications "The Easter Romans 330-1461AD" has several plates of late 14th/15th century Byzantines.I don't know if these are still easily available.
Was there even much of a Byzantium army by circa 1453? The defenders of Constantinople where mostly armed citizens and Italian mercenaries weren't they? I'd hazard a guess that the reason it's hard to find much info is that Byzantium was pretty much military defunct by the mid 15th century.
Well, no quite. 5000 out of the 7000 defenders were Byzantine soldiers. The citizens certainly did take part in the defence of the walls because there weren't enough professional soldiers to defend; the inner Theodosian Wall was 5.7 kilometers. That's not to even take into account the two outer walls.
I assume you have the Osprey on late Byzantine armies. It covers everything from the around the 4th crusade until the end last two plates are 15th century soldiers. I mean it's osprey level of detail but some useful stuff anyway.
