Roman Army Units in the Eastern Provinces (1)

Description

Between the reigns of Augustus and Septimius Severus, the Eastern provinces of the Roman Empire frequently experienced brutal fighting. This was most notably during the conquest of Dacia by Trajan, the suppression of the Great Revolt in Judea, and intermittent clashes with Rome's great rival, Parthia.

In these wars, Roman soldiers had to fight in a range of different climates and terrains, from the deserts of the Middle East to the islands of the eastern Mediterranean.

Using full-colour artwork, Roman Army Units in the Eastern Provinces (1) examines the variation of equipment and uniforms both between different military units, and in armies stationed in different regions of the Empire.

Utilising evidence drawn from recent archaeological finds, it paints a vivid portrait of Roman army units in the Eastern provinces during the first two centuries of the Imperial period.
