547 ROMAN ARMY UNITS IN THE EASTERN PROVINCES (2): 3rd Century AD

1-999547

Considers the evidence for middle 3rd Century Roman troops in the Eastern half of the Empire -- specifically around the Balkans, Mesopotamia, the Middle East and North Africa -- and reconstructs this chaotic period of Roman military history. Covers the appearance and campaigns of the Roman forces stationed in the East and looks at the weakness of Imperial central authority, which inevitably led to local particularism and a wide range of appearance in regional commands. Follows the previous title, MAA 527, Roman Army Units in the Western Provinces (2): 3rd Century AD.
