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. Book jacket.
