Roman Legionary AD 284-337

The age of Diocletian and Constantine the Great
The story of the Roman legionary during the reigns of Diocletian and Constantine the Great, covering the conflicts with the Persian Empire, Goths and Sarmatians.

Diocletian and Constantine were the greatest of the Late Roman emperors, and their era marks the climax of the legionary system.

Under Constantine’s successors the legions were reduced in size and increasingly sidelined in favour of new units of elite auxilia, but between AD 284 and 337 the legions reigned supreme. The legionaries defeated all-comers and spearheaded a stunning Roman revival that humbled the Persian Empire and reduced the mighty Goths and Sarmatians to the status of vassals.

This is a detailed account of the equipment, background, training and combat experience of the men from all parts of the empire who made up the backbone of Rome’s legions in this pivotal period.
