Late Roman Combat Tactics
Pen & Sword Military (Verlag)
978-1-5267-9395-9 (ISBN)
The discussion examines how the Romans fought at every level, so that it covers everything from the individual fighting techniques all the way up to the conduct of large-scale pitched battles. There is an immense amount of technical detail but the human element and the experience of the officers and ordinary soldiers is not forgotten, with such factors as morale and the psychology of battle (the ‘face of battle’) given due consideration. The thoroughly researched text is well supported by dozens of diagrams and illustrations. A thoroughly illuminating read on its own, Late Roman Combat Tactics is also the perfect companion to Dr Syvänne’s eight-volume Military History of Late Rome.
DR ILKKA SYVÄNNE gained his doctorate in history in 2004 from the University of Tampere in his native Finland.

He was Vice Chairman of the Finnish Society for Byzantine Studies from 2007 until 2016/. He was appointed as an Affiliated Professor of the University of Haifa in 2016/.
