The Late Roman Army

In this book, the late period of the Roman army begins with the accession of the Emperor Diocletian in AD 284 and ends with the culmination of the reign of Justinian I. This was a turbulent period during which the Roman state and its armed forces changed. Wonderfully illustrated with historical reenactments, Gabriele Esposito explores the organization, structure, equipment, weapons, combat history and tactics of Late Roman military forces.
