AD 284-305) and his successor, Constantine I (r. AD 306-37), the first Christian emperor, undertook major administrative reforms to reflect new realities and improve defensive strategy. These changes saw the Roman Army completely reorganized, with its old structure of legions and auxiliary units giving way to central mobile field armies and various classes of garrison troops. In addition, the Army also began recruiting 'allied barbarians' in ever-increasing numbers, some of whom rose to positions of supreme command. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, Doctor Raffaele D'Amato draws on the latest archaeological and extensive material from the unique \u003ci\u003eNotitia Dignitatum\u003c\/i\u003e to explore the armies associated with the Roman Empire's eastern provinces in the two centuries before the demise of Emperor Romulus Augustus in 476.
