Description

Barry Strauss presents a compelling narrative of the Roman Empire's transformation over three and a half centuries, tracing its rise to reinvention through the lives of ten influential emperors.

The story begins with Augustus, who founded the empire, and spans the reigns of subsequent rulers, including Tiberius, Nero, Vespasian, Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus, Diocletian, and Constantine. Strauss explores how these men adapted to maintain power, often at great cost.

The Roman Empire's legacy endures in many aspects of modern society, from language and law to architecture and the Catholic Church. This book offers a captivating account of the emperors who shaped its enduring heritage.
