Thanks for the map, Robert, and for the assesment of both numbers and intent. Of course it makes sense that the army and probably the invasion plan, was already waiting for Julian. I had not thought about the build-up before ...
For an invasion 'beyond the Empire' what is the preciedent as far as troop units are concerned, Robert? The field armies I assume, would form the core of a force. Would JUlian be rash enough yo take the Gallic field army with him to Iraq, as well as the Eastern?
