<br>
Picked up this title on the third century last weekend:<br>
<br>
P. Southern, <i> The Roman empire from Severus to Constantine</i> (London 2001) ISBN 0415239443<br>
<br>
Good read, though I had some minor criticisms, for instance regarding the legions raised by Diocletianus which at least in part seem to have been of the old large pattern than the small 1000 strong type.<br>
<br>
In another thread on OT you raised the subject of continuation and revival of Roman military practices in later centuries. This title stresses the strong Roman influence on Frankish warfare:<br>
<br>
B.S. Bachrach, <i> Early Carolingian warfare</i> (Philadelphia 2001) ISBN 0-8122-3533-9.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
