About this product

Product Information

Few books before have explored the exploits, achievements, and notorious antics of ancient Rome's imperial dynasties in such readable detail. This title sets out to describe the lives of every man (and a few women) who aspired to the purple, from Augustus in 27 bc to Justinian I, who died in ad 565 - arguably the end of Rome's classical period. Many are familiar with the descendants of Julius Caesar - Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, and Nero - but how many readers know about Maximus Thrax, Claudius II Gothicus, or the Gallic Empire of Postumus? Almost 120 emperors, usurpers, pretenders 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 provides a history of political, social, military and economic strategies of the world's most powerful and influential empire, and is an essential companion to anyone interested in, or studying, the ancient Romans.
