A typically strong military history from publishers Pen and Sword. This looks at the series of wars between Rome and the Sassanids during the 4th century - a period perhaps best known for the Emperor Julian, star of the Gore Vidal book (that was my introduction to the period certainly).
It's full of colourful characters - Julian, Constantius II, Shapur. Very well researched and clearly written.
