Untersuchungen zur schiffsgesttzten Grenzsicherung auf der sptantiken Donau (3. - 6. Jh. n.Chr.)

Rivers, Florian Himmler argues in this synthesis of current research, formed a key element of Late Roman frontier defences, and a more effective one than has often been assumed. He concentrates principally on the Danube frontier, assessing the reforms made by Diocletian and Constantine to naval forces and river surveillance, and highlighting both positive changes to organisation and in shipbuilding and design.
