| Sumario: | "Newly available in paperback, Chronicle of the Roman Emperors focuses on the succession of the rulers of imperial Rome, using timelines and other visual aids throughout. Biographical portraits of the 56 principal emperors from Augustus to Constantine, together with a concluding section on the later emperors, build into a highly readable single-volume history of imperial Rome. Colourful contemporary judgments by such writers as Suetonius and Tacitus are balanced by judicious character assessments made in the light of modern research. The famous and the infamous, Caligula and Claudius, Trajan and Caracalla, receive their due, while lesser names emerge clearly from the shadows for the first time. Chronicle of the Roman Emperors is at once a book to be enjoyed as popular history, an essential work of reference, and a source of visual inspiration, bringing to life one of the most powerful and influential empires the world has ever known"-- OhioLink Library Catalog |
