Did the army rely on imperial supply lines from the continent, as certainly appears to be the ...

Die Verwaltung der kaiserzeitlichen römischen Armee: Studien für Hartmut Wolff
edited by Armin Eich
English summary: The final transition from a militia to a professional army under Augustus marks a fundamental change in course in Roman history. The ideal of a low intensity, centrally administrated state had to be abandoned over the following centuries in favor of proto-bureaucratic management styles.
