Based on recent literary and archaeological research, this book is an in-depth study of the units of the Roman Army that were stationed in the Eastern Provinces during the turbulent third century of the Roman Empire. In this work, distinguished Roman historian Dr. Raffaele Damato examines the history of Roman troops in the mid-third century, the records of which have been blurred by the chaotic civil wars of that time. Following the previous title, MAA 527, Roman Military Units in the Western Provinces (2): 3rd Century A.D., this book studies the evidence for troops on the Eastern side of the Empire, especially around the Balkans, Mesopotamia, the Middle East, and North Africa, and analyzes the weakness of imperial central authority that led to the local particularity and diversity of regional administrations. Dr. Damato utilizes literary, pictorial, sculptural, and archaeological sources to reconstruct this little-understood period in the history of the Roman army and, with the aid of detailed color art, photographs, and analytical charts, portrays the appearance and campaigns of the Roman forces stationed in the East.
