British academic McHugh, who has written on the Emperor Commodus and other subjects, does a masterful job in giving us this life of Alexander Severus set within his unstable times which presaged even more instability... This is a rich work, and valuable for anyone with an interest in the Roman Empire.

Synopsis
Alexander Severus' is full of controversy and contradictions. He came to the throne through the brutal murder of his cousin, Elagabalus, and was ultimately assassinated himself. The years between were filled with regular uprisings and rebellions, court intrigue (the Praetorian Guard slew their commander at the Emperor's feet) and foreign invasion. Yet the ancient sources generally present his reign as a golden age of just government, prosperity and religious tolerance Not yet fourteen when he became emperor, Alexander was dominated by his mother, Julia Mammaea and advisors like the historian, Cassius Dio. In the military field, he successfully checked the aggressive Sassanid Persians but some sources see his Persian campaign as a costly failure marked by mutiny and reverses that weakened the army. When Germanic and Sarmatian tribes crossed the Rhine and Danube frontiers in 234, Alexander took the field against them but when he attempted to negotiate to buy time, his soldiers perceived him as weak, assassinated him and replaced him with the soldier Maximinus Thrax. John McHugh reassesses this fascinating emperor in detail.

    Fine presentation of an obscure period in Roman History--a contribution to knowledge

    Great organizing and recounting of a complex era in Roman Imperial History. Specialist and general reader, preferably with a smattering of knowledge in the subject, will enjoy it. Author brings to life his subject amid the context of troubled times. Both primary and secondary sources are ably, and wisely, brought to bear, and the colorful detailing is astoundingly adroit. The large blocks of prose, however, dash at the reader with phalanx-like insistence; division of these into smaller units (i.e., more paragraphing) would have made the narrative (for me at least) a less burdensome onslaught. It is wonderful, in all events, that Pen & Sword is now issuing biographies of Roman emperors about whom no extended narratives, with scholarly depth and general reader accessibility, have ...
