Rezensionen
"Hebblewhite does an admirable job of presenting the ofttimes contradictory literary, epigraphic, and numismatic evidence (both inscriptional and iconographic), confronting the issues it raises, and coming to conclusions [...] The book is clearly written and well organized."

- R. T. Ingoglia, Saint Thomas Aquinas College, USA, CHOICE Reviews

"This is a stimulating work that provides an easy-to-use catalogue of the coinage and legal sources showing the relationship between the Emperor and the Roman army [...] If they'd read Hebblewhite's book, many late Roman emperors might have been more successful."

- Hugh Elton, Trent University, Canada, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2017

"Au total, nous pensons que ce livre aura sa place dans toutes les bibliothèques bien composées."

-Yann Le Bohec, Paris-Sorbonne University, France, Sehepunkte Rezensionsjournal für die Geschichtswissenschaften 2017

"Hebblewhite made a masterful study, being able to bring together a wide range of literary, epigraphic, as well as numismatic evidence, and present us with a convincing and concise analysis of nature of the relationship between the emperor and the army in what was politically and militarily turbulent period for the Later Roman empire [...] Hebblewhite's book is a valuable contribution to the field that nicely complements Campbell's earlier work and provides us with a badly needed insight into the emperor's relationship with the military in the late antiquity. As such, it should be a mandatory addition to every university library"

- Vedran Bileta, De Re Militari, The Society for Medieval Military History

"....Hebblewhite's study is filled with new materials and original viewpoints, especially in the economic, monetary and numismatic spheres relating to the Roman army. It will surely be of value and importance to scholars and students of the period for many years to come."

- Haggai Olshanetsky, Scripta Classica Israelica

"As such, his book provides a useful introduction to this specific historiographical problem, a thought-provoking reading, and a good starting point for more nuanced and comprehensive analyses."

- Luisa Andriollo, Bamberg

"In this learned, clearly written, and visually pleasing monograph, Mark Hebblewhite explores the fraught relationship between the emperor and the soldiers he led."

- Byzantina Symmeitkta 28 (2018)

"This book offers a compact and source-oriented access to the relationship of emperor and army in the 3rd and 4th centuries."

- Christoph Begass, Univeristat Mannheim, Germany, Historische Zeitschrift vol. 308/1, 2019

"Questo studio dettagliato e bene argomentato esamina i modi in cui gli imperatori del periodo compreso fra l'ascesa al potere di Massimino il trace fino alla morte di Teodosio cercarono di rinsaldare la propria popolarità presso l'esercito"
