Rezension
"...Todo ello hace que, en efecto, la obra contribuya de manera notable a la difusión de importantes novedades, sobre todo aportadas por la arqueología, relativas a los conflictos bélicos y a sus efectos en tiempos tardo-antiguos, tanto en el Oriente como en el Occidente mediterráneo, así como del estado actual de la investigación."

"...un ouvrage utile et de grande qualité. Il donne une première lumière sur tous les aspects de la guerre durant l'Antiquité tardive et il permet de reprendre tous les aspects du sujet grâce aux listes de sources et de bibliographie, en général heureusement commentées. Dorénavant, personne ne pourra aborder l'histoire militaire de cette période sans commencer par voir ce qu'il apporte..."
Yann Le Bohec, in sehepunkte 14 (2014), Nr. 2 [15.02.2014], URL: two volumes will undoubtedly interest all those seeking to learn more about war and warfare during Late Antiquity, and I doubt that there is anyone who will not learn something new by reading the set..."
