Beschrijving

Dive into a captivating overview of the Roman Empire from AD 96-180, where we witness the rise of the wise senator Nerva after the assassination of Domitian. His successor, the courageous Trajan, navigated the streets with remarkable accessibility, while the charismatic Hadrian skillfully restructured the imperial budget. Finally, we meet the renowned philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius, who dedicated his life to defending the empire against barbarian invasions along the Danube. The journey concludes with insightful chapters on the diverse religions of the empire, the states response to Christianity, and the complexities of imperial administration. (Summary by Pamela Nagami)
