Description

The Julio-Claudian Emperors: A Study of Infamy and Power. This book provides a comprehensive account of the reigns of four Roman emperors, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero, as well as the civil wars that followed the death of Nero. Drawing on a range of historical sources, including inscriptions, coins, literary history, and recent interpretations, Thomas Wiedemann presents a coherent analysis of the often erratic actions of these emperors. Wiedemann's study considers the social factors that influenced the imperial household, shedding light on the complex web of power and politics that shaped the Julio-Claudian dynasty. By examining the lives and reigns of these four emperors, this book offers a nuanced understanding of one of the most fascinating periods in Roman history. With 110 pages of clear and concise analysis, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in ancient Roman history and the Julio-Claudian era.
