What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"An altogether attractive book. In short and well-written chapters, leading experts share the results of extensive research into the subject. The reader comes to see not only what power the Roman emperor enjoyed, but the challenges he faced, from members of the court to foreign peoples living beyond the borders of his realm."
Josiah Osgood, Georgetown University
