Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the turbulent period of Roman history spanning from the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius to the rise of Diocletian, with a particular focus on the life and reign of Emperor Probus. It explores a time marked by political instability, military dominance, and a series of short-lived emperors who struggled to maintain control amidst internal strife and barbarian incursions. The author meticulously examines the historical context of this era, highlighting the decline of senatorial power and the rise of militarism as defining characteristics. The book sheds light on the challenges faced by emperors like Probus in their attempts to restore order and stability to a fractured empire. By drawing upon various sources, including inscriptions, coins, and the works of ancient historians such as Zosimus and Aurelius Victor, the author provides a comprehensive account of Probus' reign and the broader political landscape of the time. Thematic explorations delve into the complexities of imperial power, the role of the military in Roman society, and the factors that contributed to the empire's decline. The author critically assesses the reliability of historical sources, particularly the Augustan History, and navigates the ongoing scholarly debate surrounding its authorship and authenticity. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into a pivotal period of Roman history, illuminating the challenges of leadership, the consequences of unchecked military influence, and the enduring legacy of Emperor Probus in the face of a declining empire.
