Purchase options and add-ons

Drawing upon the latest literary and archaeological research, this is an in-depth study of the Roman Army units based in the Eastern Provinces during the turbulent third century of the Roman Empire.

In this book, eminent Roman historian, Dr Raffaele D'Amato, looks at the notoriously under-represented history of the Roman armies during the middle 3rd Century whose records have been obscured by the chaotic civil wars of that period between usurpers to the Imperial authority of Rome. Following on from the previous title, MAA 527, Roman Army Units in the Western Provinces (2): 3rd Century AD, this book considers the evidence for troops in the Eastern half of the Empire specifically around the Balkans, Mesopotamia, the Middle East and North Africa and looks at the weakness of Imperial central authority which inevitably led to local particularism and a wide range of appearance in regional commands.

Dr D'Amato uses literary, painted, sculptural and archaeological sources to reconstruct this little-understood period of Roman military history and, with the aid of meticulous coloured artwork, photos and detailed charts, reconstructs the appearance and campaigns of the Roman forces stationed in the East.

HMS Warspite
5.0 out of 5 stars At the edge of empire...
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2022
Verified Purchase
In the third century AD, the Roman Empire was slowly unraveling, held together mostly by its still impressive army. In the Eastern Provinces, those forces were subject to a variety of influences, including from local peoples incorporated into the Roman Army. In this concise but fascinating Osprey Men-at-Arms book, author Raffaele D'Amato explores those units.

The author has conducted a deep dive into museum holdings and archeological finds to reconstruct uniforms and equipment. At this remove of time, a fair amount of informed speculation is required. Students of the subject should be impressed with the variety of sources. Illustrator Raffaele Ruggeri has supplied a fine set of color plates. Well recommended to students of the period.

Another excellent Osprey publication which follows their standard style of a brief overview of the subject well supported by line drawings, photographs and colour plates. An ideal book for the wargamer seeking painting inspiration or for those seeking an introduction to the Imperial Roman army in the East.

Another good title from osprey. Like the other 3 titles this book mixes descriptions of the soldiers, good photos, excellent artwork and a guide to see where the items mentioned in the books can be found. A very useful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An engaging account, if somewhat glamorous view of the eastern army during its 3rd century crisis.

Loved the detail and illustrations of this and the partner books of the series which sit well with the Osprey texts dealing with the warriors the Romans had to contend with ie Huns, Goths, Parthians, Britons, Gauls, Germans etc.,and Roman soldiers during internal civil wars.
