Description
The Roman Army of the Middle Empire, AD 180-284: Weapons, Organization and Equipment During the Third Century Crisis, the Roman army faced unprecedented challenges as it struggled to maintain unity and stability across the vast empire. In response, the military underwent significant reforms, introducing new organizational patterns and tactics to counter the growing threat from external enemies. The Roman army's evolution during this period was marked by a shift towards more mobile and flexible forces, with cavalry playing an increasingly important role alongside light troops specialized in skirmishing. The personal equipment of Roman soldiers also underwent significant changes, with the introduction of new weapons that enabled innovative tactics to be employed on the battlefield. This book provides a detailed examination of the major military campaigns and troop types, shedding light on the transformation of the Roman military during this critical period. Lavishly illustrated throughout, The Roman Army of the Middle Empire, AD 180-284 offers a comprehensive look at the evolution of Roman forces from the death of Marcus Aurelius to the rise of Diocletian.
