I bought it but I was disappointed, because I was under the impression that it was a new book. However, it was a reprint and I can't really blame the author for the very many mistakes that he made. At the time of writing, not so much was known about the Late Roman army. As a consequence, there's not much about the Late Roman army in the book - had he situated the story in the late 2nd c., it would not have been much different.
