""Hughes doesn't just follow the military campaigns; he also adds considerable analysis on the period, including the political wranglings, social and military reforms, both structural and tactical, within the Empire in general. He tells what he knows, what he surmises, and what he doesn't know from his studies. What you get is an excellent glimpse of an Empire trying to regain the stability is had before the 3rd Century troubles - and not really succeeding. With some decent empire ranging maps, plus a good list of primary and secondary sources, Hughes has provided an excellent overlook of an important individual of Late Rome's history.""--John D. Burtt ""Ian Hughes chronicles all of these events in his book, but with special attention given to the revolution in military affairs which took place under the two Emperors.""-- ""Consolation of Antiquity""
