Abstract

In-depth analysis of military titles attested on papyri and inscriptions from the Middle Euphrates in the 3rd century AD. The passage from praepositus praetenturae to dux ripae reveals a different conception of the limes with the new Persian Empire. Rome switches from an expansionistic political view to a defensive one.
