The problems facing the late Roman Empire were legion and had to be dealt with accordingly. This meant that the Roman army had to adapt or die. This book gives a stimulating overview of how the army adapted and changed to meet these challenges.



Using a full range of original literary sources, modern Continental scholarship, and current archaeological research, Pat Southern and Karen R. Dixon provide a stimulating overview of the historical period, the critical changes in the army, and the way these changes affected the morale of the soldiers.
