Published by Pen & Sword Books
A comprehensive look at campaigns, battles, and military developments in these dramatic decades.

Part of a multivolume history spanning from AD 284-641 that offers detailed accounts of campaigns, battles, and the changes in organization, equipment, strategy, and tactics among both the Roman forces and her enemies in the relevant period, this book covers the tumultuous period from the death of Constantius II in AD 361 to the death of Theodosius.

Among the many campaigns covered are the Emperor Julian’s fatal campaign against the Sassanian Persians and the disastrous defeat and death of Valens at Adrianople in 378. Such calamities illustrate the level of external threat Rome’s armies faced on many fronts in this difficult period.
