First sentence: The credit for the establishment of Rome's first truly permanent, standing army must be given to Augustus; for although Marius helped bring about a professional army, it was not until the reign of Augustus that the strength and stations of the army became more or less permanent.
Description: This work traces the evolution of the Roman Army from the principate through the reforms of Diocletian and Constantine, the wars of Justinian, the development of the theme system.  It is divided into four books.  It incoporates two fairly complete army lists, including auxiliary forces, one for the reign of Antonius Pius and the other for the reign of Valentinian III. It also includes an appendix of short histories for selected units.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references.
