Sarantis (Leiden, 2013) and The Cambridge Ancient History of Greek and Roman Warfare, Vol. 2: Rome from the Late Republic to the Late Empire, ed. P. Sabin, H. von Wiess, and M. Whitby (Cambridge, 2007). For introductions to the late Roman legal system, see A. H. M. Jones, The Later Roman Empire (Baltimore, MD, 1964) and J. Harries, Law and Empire in Late Antiquity (Cambridge, 1999). For the annona systems, see A. J. B. Sirks, Food for Rome: The Legal Structure of the Transportation and Processing of Supplies for the Imperial Distributions in Rome and Constantinople (Amsterdam, 1991). On Roman roadways and the cursus publicus, see L. Casson, Travel in the Ancient World (Baltimore, MD, 1994), and for a recent reappraisal of the Peutinger Map as imperial propaganda, see R. Talbot, Rome’s World: The Peutinger Map Reconsidered (Cambridge, 2010).
