The Late Roman Army, Southern, P. and Dixon, K.R., (2000) Paperback edition, London: Routledge
An overview of the army from Septimius Severus up to the beginning of the sixth century, including the reforms of Diocletian and Constantine, recruitment, pay and conditions, equipment, fortifications and siege warfare. They describe morale, motivation and identity in the context of increasing cultural mix within the late Roman army. It has been criticised for containing some mistakes and for its caution in drawing new academic conclusions, but I think it provides an excellent starting-point.
