Hachette UK, 2015. — 320 p. The period between the accession of Marcus Aurelius in AD 161 and the death of Constantine the Great in 337 is often seen as little more than a protracted interval between the glories of the ancient world and the genesis of medieval Europe.

Routledge, 1999. — 121 p. In Collapse and Recovery of the Roman Empire, Michael Grant asserts that the fact that the Roman empire of the third century AD did not collapse is one of the miracles of history.

London: Routledge, 2000. — 320 p. — (Roman Imperial Biographies). Nero's personality and crimes have always intrigued historians and writers of fiction. However, his reign also illuminates the nature of the Julio-Claudian Principate. Nero's suicide brought to an end the dynasty Augustus had founded, and placed in jeopardy the political system he had devised. Miriam T. Griffin's...
Liverpool University Press, 2022. — 356 p. Work and labour are fundamental to an understanding of Roman society.

ISBN: 0-292-73464-6 (cl.: alk. paper) Baetica, the present-day region of Andalusia in southern Spain, was the wealthiest province of the Roman Empire.

V&R unipress, 2023. — 408 S. — (Studien zu Macht und Herrschaft 15). In ihrer Prägung als Politikum ist die Göttlichkeit des römischen Kaisers in der Forschung bislang zumeist in Hinblick auf ihre konstruktive – d. h. herrschaftsstabilisierende – Wirkung untersucht worden.

American Academy in Rome, 1959. — xi + 527 p. "If you want to know whether Pescennius Niger was called pater patriae , or how many times the pomerium was enlarged, Hammond is your man; and—flippancy aside—on many really significant questions the evidence will be found here, scrupulously set out: on the role of the army as king-maker, on the extent to which emperors were above...
Cambridge University Press, 2008. — 264 p. The Acta Alexandrinorum are a fascinating collection of texts, dealing with relations between the Alexandrians and the Roman emperors in the first century AD. This was a turbulent time in the life of the capital city of the new province of Egypt, not least because of tensions between the Greek and Jewish sections of the population. Dr...
University of California Press, 1992. — 296 p. From second century CE, the central government sent out around 160 officials each year to govern rich provincial Roman East. Among these officials were the "Roman governors", as they are called in English: either magistrates elected at Rome who in the name of the Roman people governed senatorial provinces; or governors, usually of...
University of Adelaide, 2024. — 205 p. Periods of crisis threaten the stability, and sometimes the very existence, of institutions and invite/provoke change. They highlight inherent weaknesses – in this case succession to the role of Roman emperor, a position that Augustus misleadingly claimed did not exist. Despite scrupulously avoiding any suggestion of monarchy, Augustus was...
Franz Steiner Verlag, 2016. — 258 p. Die soziale Hierarchie innerhalb der römischen Gesellschaft wurde im 1. Jahrhundert n. Chr. unter den neuen politischen Rahmenbedingungen des Prinzipats massiv erschüttert: die etablierte soziale Ordnung geriet in Unordnung.

Alpha Edition, 2020. — 165 p. The life of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, generally known to the world as Heliogabalus, is as yet shrouded in impenetrable mystery. The picture we have of the reign is that of an imperial orgy—sacrilegious, necromantic, and obscene. The boy Emperor, who reigned from his fourteenth to his eighteenth year, is depicted amongst that crowd of...
University of California Press, 2003. — 231 p. A theoretically sophisticated and illuminating reading of Tacitus, especially the Histories, this work points to a new understanding of the logic of Roman rule during the early Empire.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht Gmbh & Co, 2024. — 368 p. The year of the four emperors in AD 193 shows the cosmopolitan interconnectedness of the Roman Empire, yet scholarship has long framed the Severan dynasty in a narrative of descent stressing their North African and in particular their Syrian origins. The contributions of this volume question this conventional approach and instead...

Brill, 2021. — 280 p. — (Dutch Monographs on Ancient History and Archaeology 23). The emperor Commodus (AD 180-192) has commonly been portrayed as an insane madman, whose reign marked the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire. Indeed, the main point of criticism on his father, Marcus Aurelius, is that he appointed his son as his successor. Especially Commodus behaviour as a...
Academia Scientiarum Fennica, 1975. — 154 p. "The more important of these for the historian is without doubt that of Helen. He does not cast his net very wide (he shirks the task of interpreting the absence of brick-stamps in the mid-third century and their re-appearance after Diocletian) but does deal, for all that, with the fundamental problems of the organization of the...
Oxford University Press, 2010. — 507 p. — ISBN: 978–0–19–921643–7. The idea for this Handbook was born during my conversations with Yaron Eliav and Zeev Weiss during the last five years, when we considered the creation of a new version of Samuel Krauss' multi‐volume Talmudische Archäologie. Such a new version remains a task of gargantuan proportions that will perhaps be...
Fayard, 2001. — 1080 p. " Se pourrait-il qu'on soit assez borné, assez indifférent pour refuser de s'intéresser à la question de savoir comment et grâce à quel gouvernement l'État romain a pu, chose sans précédent, étendre sa domination à presque toute la terre habitée et cela en moins de cinquante-trois ans ? On peut sans doute éprouver une curiosité pour d'autres spectacles...
Oxford University Press, 2022. — 336 p. Why did Julius Caesar come to Britain? His own account suggests that he invaded to quell a resistance of Gallic sympathizers in the region of modern-day Kent - but there must have been personal and divine aspirations behind the expeditions in 55 and 54 BCE.

Pen and Sword Books, 2012. — 208 p. The purpose of this book is to take what we think we know about the Roman Conquest of Britain from historical sources, and compare it with the archaeological evidence, which is often contradictory.

Aarhus University Press, 2005. — 659 p. The study of Roman imperial statues has made remarkable strides in the last two decades. Yet the field's understandable focus on extant portraits has made it difficult to generalize accurately. Most notably, bronze was usually the material of choice, but its high scrap value meant that such statues were inevitably melted down, so that almost...
Franz Steiner Verlag, 2020. — 519 p. — (Historia-Einzelschriften 253). Die Begriffe "Bildung" und "Alexandria" stehen in einem engen Zusammenhang. Bisherige Untersuchungen widmeten sich vor allem der alexandrinischen Bildungswelt in hellenistischer und spätantiker Zeit, denn die Eroberung Ägyptens im Jahr 31 v. Chr. schien einen Niedergang eingeleitet zu haben, der erst durch...

Profile Books, 2011. — 224 p. The Colosseum was Imperial Rome's monument to warfare.

Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1993. — 252 p. — (American Classical Studies 32). The Life of Caligula is different from Suetonius' other Lives only because the number of "bad" rubrics so far outweighs the "good" and because the demarcation between them is so very clearly marked in the text: hactenus quasi de principe, reliqua ut de monstro narranda sunt. The number of "bad" rubrics...

B. Tauris, 2013. — 288 p. Elagabalus was one of the most notorious of Rome's "bad emperors": a sexually-depraved and eccentric hedonist who in his short and riotous reign made unprecedented changes to Roman state religion and defied all taboos. An oriental boy-priest from Syria - aged just fourteen when he was elevated to power in 218 CE - he placed the sun god El-Gabal at the...
University of Edinburgh, 2015. — 248 p. The constitutio Antoniniana represents one of the most important legal documents of the Roman imperial period.

Macquarie University, 2017. — 340 p. The issue of succession in the Roman Empire has long drawn scholarly attention. Since succession was anathema to Roman political sensibilities, Augustus was forced to take an indirect approach to perpetuating his regime, indicating potential candidates rather than designating them directly. This requisite subtlety introduced great...
Oxford University Press, 2023. — 304 p. What ambitions lay behind Roman provincial governance? How did these change over time and in response to local conditions?

University of Otago, 2019. — 141 p. The third century CE was a period of turmoil for the Roman Empire, as can be seen for example in the disastrous years between 260-275 CE. The emperor Valerian had been captured by the Sasanids, and Rome was left scrambling to restore control.
