Some light scratches on jacket panels. 1996 Hard Cover. xvii, 206 pp. From the end of the second century A.D., the Roman Empire was beset by internal unrest, revolts, usurpations, civil wars, and attacks along its far-flung frontiers. This stimulating book is the first comprehensive discussion of how the Roman army adapted itself to these growing threats and how effective it was in combating serious problems-sometimes several at once-during the late imperial period.
