Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This was a time of civil war, anarchy, intrigue, and assassination.Between 193 and 284 the Roman Empire knew more than twenty-five emperors, and an equal number of usurpers. All of them had some measure of success, several of them often ruling different parts of the Empire at the same time. Rome's traditional political institutions slid into vacuity and armies became the Empire's most powerful institutions, proclaiming their own imperial champions and deposing those they held to be incompetent. Yet despite widespread contemporary dismay at such weak government this period was also one in which the boundaries of the Empire remained fairly stable; the rights and privileges of Roman citizenship were extended equally to all free citizens of the Empire; in several regions the economy remained robust in the face of rampant inflation; and literary culture, philosophy, and legal theory flourished. Historians have been discussing how and why this could have been for centuries. Olivier Hekster takes you to the heart of these debates and illustrates the arguments with key contemporary documents. His compelling account will engage students at all levels of study.Key Features issues of historical significance are identified and thematically discussed important modern debates are placed together and explored key passages of text along with key images are gathered and accessible in one volume includes essay questions, chronology, further reading, bibliography, and useful website resources A discursive look at the key debates that evolved from this period of the Roman Empire.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. For centuries, Roman emperors ruled a vast empire. Yet, at least officially, the emperor did not exist. No one knew exactly what titles he possessed, how he could be portrayed, what exactly he had to do, or how the succession was organised. Everyone knew, however, that the emperor held ultimate power over the empire. There were also expectations about what he should do and be, although these varied throughout the empire and also evolved over time. How did these expectations develop and change? To what degree could an emperor deviate from prevailing norms? And what role did major developments in Roman society such as the rise of Christianity or the choice of Constantinople as the new capital play in the ways in which emperors could exercise their rule? This ambitious and engaging book describes the surprising stability of the Roman Empire over more than six centuries of history. The first systematic analysis of Roman emperorship encompassing the six centuries from Caesar's accession to the death of Justinian. Richly documented and illustrated, it provides a gripping account of the different roles Roman emperors played and of how popular expectations shaped their behaviour. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
