This book presents a new history of the leadership, organization,
and disposition of the field armies of the east Roman empire
between Julian (361–363) and Herakleios (610–641). To date,
scholars studying this topic have privileged a poorly understood
document, the Notitia dignitatum, and imposed it on the entire
period from 395 to 630. This study, by contrast, gathers all of the
available narrative, legal, papyrological, and epigraphic evidence
to demonstrate empirically that the Notitia system emerged only in
the 440s and that it was already mutating by the late fifth century
before being fundamentally reformed during Justinian's wars of
reconquest. This realization calls for a new, revised history of
the eastern armies. Every facet of military policy must be
reassessed, often with broad implications for the period. The
volume provides a new military narrative for the period 361–630
and appendices revising the prosopography of high-ranking generals
and arguing for a later Notitia.
