This paper proposes to discuss one of Arrian’s so-called ‘minor texts’—the Acies contra Alanos which I prefer to call Ektaxis kata Alanōn—and show how it is not only a military manual, but also allows Arrian to discuss identity, fitting into broader patterns and discourses of the Second Sophistic. In the Ektaxis Arrian, much like a sophist, creates different personas and layers of identity not just for himself but also for his troops, and takes the opportunity to present the Roman army in a diverse way, which differs from portrayals in other authors.

罗马帝国的Arrian的传教法：地方身份，多样性和陆军地理

本文建议讨论Arrian所谓的“次要文本”之一（我更喜欢称其为Ektaxis kataAlanōn的Acies相反的Alanos），并展示它不仅是军事手册，而且还允许Arrian讨论适合自己的身份第二智者的更广泛的模式和话语。在Ektaxis中，阿里安（Arrian）就像一个诡辩家一样，不仅为他自己，而且为他的部队创造了不同的角色和身份层次，并借此机会以多种方式展示了罗马军队，这与其他作者的说法不同。
