If I remember correctly, in the page 16 the author tells how the heavy armour seems to be disappearing in depictions of the roman soldiers in the late 3th c. AD. He also suggests that late roman army abandoned earlier heavy armour and started to wear for example leather armour "like the auxiliaries". I thought he would have had more knowledge of the late roman military equipment. Quite disappointing.
