Few books before have ever explored the exploits, achievements, and notorious antics of ancient Rome's imperial dynasties in such readable detail. The book describes the lives of every man (and a few women) who aspired to the purple, from Augustus in 23 BC to Justinian I, who died in AD 565. Many may be familiar with the descendants of Julius Caesar—Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero—but how many know about Maximinus Thrax, Claudius II Gothicus, or the Gallic empire of Postumus? All 118 emperors and barbarian rulers of the period are brought vividly to life, illustrated by a mixture of drawings of their busts and coinage, and complemented by specially commissioned maps that clearly outline imperial ambitions and failures.
The Complete Chronicle of the Emperors of Rome is a record of the political, social, military, and economic strategies of the world's most powerful ancient empire. A unique book and an essential companion to anyone interested in, or studying, the ancient Romans.
