The Limits of Empire: The Roman Army in the East

By Benjamin H. Isaac

For more than seven centuries, most of the Near East was part of the Roman Empire. Drawing on a wide range of archaeological material and both well-known and neglected sources, Issac here reassesses the means by which Rome achieved and maintained its political and military control over the region from Caucasus to Sinai.
