SynopsisDrawing upon the latest literary and archaeological research, this is an in-depth study of the Roman Army units based in the Eastern Provinces during the turbulent third century of the Roman Empire. In this book, eminent Roman historian, Dr Raffaele D'Amato, looks at the notoriously under-represented history of the Roman armies during the middle 3rd Century whose records have been obscured by the chaotic civil wars of that period between usurpers to the Imperial authority of Rome. Following on from the previous title , MAA 527, Roman Army Units in the Western Provinces (2): 3rd Century AD , this book considers the evidence for troops in the Eastern half of the Empire specifically around the Balkans, Mesopotamia, the Middle East and North Africa and looks at the weakness of Imperial central authority which inevitably led to local particularism and a wide range of appearance in regional commands. Dr D'Amato uses literary, painted, sculptural and archaeological sources to reconstruct this little-understood period of Roman military history and, with the aid of meticulous coloured artwork, photos and detailed charts, reconstructs the appearance and campaigns of the Roman forces stationed in the East., Drawing upon the latest literary and archaeological research, this is an in-depth study of the Roman Army units based in the Eastern Provinces during the turbulent third century of the Roman Empire., Between AD 235 and 284 the Roman Empire was torn apart by anarchy. Claimants to the throne launched repeated civil wars, while opportunistic 'barbarian' peoples raided and invaded the weakened frontier provinces. How the Roman army in the East was equipped to deal with this chaotic period, between the fall of the Severan dynasty and the rise of Diocletian, is a little-understood period of Roman history. Illustrated with detailed photos and eight superb new colour plates, this second volume on the subject draws widely upon varied ancient sources to fill the gaps in our knowledge and presents a vivid picture of warfare on Rome's eastern frontiers.
