Description
Roman Army Units in the Western Provinces (2) 3rd Century AD This illustrated study explores the deployments and appearance of Roman legionary, auxiliary, and allied units in the Western half of the Empire during a period of turmoil, from 200 to 300 AD. The book reveals the uniforms, equipment, and deployments of Roman soldiers in a time of great upheaval, marked by the assassination of emperors and the rise of new leaders. The 3rd century AD was a time of uncertainty, with 51 men claiming the throne in a span of just a few years. Despite this chaos, the garrisons of the Western Provinces maintained a semblance of order, relying on localized organization and the recruitment of non-Roman troops to fill their ranks. This book sheds light on the appearance of Roman soldiers during this period, a subject of ongoing debate among historians. Fully illustrated with specially chosen color plates, Roman Army Units in the Western Provinces (2) 3rd Century AD provides a unique insight into the uniforms, equipment, and deployments of Roman soldiers in the Western Provinces during a pivotal moment in the Empire's history.
