Roman Army Units in the Western Provinces (1) - 31 BC-AD 195 (MAA Nr.506) Osprey Men-at-Arms

Die Uniformen, Ausrüstung, Geschichte und Organisation militärischer Verbände der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart weltweit: Dieser Band beschreibt die Einheiten der römischen Armee in den westlichen Provinzen in den Jahren 31 v.Chr-195 n.Chr., ihre Führer, die Bewaffnung, Uniformen und Ausrüstung.

At its height the Roman Empire stretched across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, maintained by an army of modest size but great diversity. In popular culture these soldiers are often portrayed in a generic fashion,
but continuing research indicates significant variations in Roman armour and equipment not only between different legions and the provincially-raised auxiliary cohorts that made up half of the army, but also between different regions within the empire. With reference to the latest archaeological and documentary evidence Dr D'Amato investigates how Roman Army units in the Western provinces were equipped, exploring the local influences and traditions that caused the variations in attire.
