Description
The Roman Emperors of Britain by Tony Sullivan provides a unique perspective on the history of Roman Britain from Julius Caesar's first invasion to the end of Roman authority. This book explores the various posts held by emperors in Britain before they achieved the throne, including those who served as tribunes, governors and military leaders. From Titus' role as a tribune following the Boudiccan revolt to Pertinax's service as a governor of Britannia, Sullivan delves into the complex web of power and politics that shaped Roman Britain. The book also covers the civil war between Clodius Albinus and Septimius Severus, the campaigns into Scotland, and the upheavals of the third century. Sullivan sheds light on the later periods of Roman Britain, including the breakaway regimes of Postumus and Carausius, and the eventual unification of the empire under Constantine I. With a focus on the emperors' roles in Britain, this book offers a fresh insight into the history of Roman Britain.
