The Late Roman Army

The problems facing the late Roman Empire were legion and had to be dealt with accordingly. This meant that the Roman army had to adapt or die. This book gives a stimulating overview of how the army adapted and changed to meet these challenges.



Using a full range of original literary sources, modern Continental scholarship, and current archaeological research, Pat Southern and Karen R. Dixon provide a stimulating overview of the historical period, the critical changes in the army, and the way these changes affected the morale of the soldiers.
