ROMAN EMPERORS OF BRITAIN

1-243220

Provides the history of Roman Britain from Julius Caesar's first invasion to the end of Roman authority. Covers what posts the emperors held in Britain prior to their achieving the throne. Titus served as a tribune directly after the Boudiccan revolt. Pertinax served in three posts: equestrian tribune of the Sixth Legion, praefectus of an auxiliary unit, and finally as a governor of Britannia. Covers the civil war between Clodius Albinus and Septimius Severus and the later campaigns into Scotland. Also looks at the upheavals of the third century and the breakaway regimes of Postumus and Carauius, 'the pirate king.' Closes with Constantine III, the last emperor to lead troops from Britain to Gaul, leaving the province to fend for itself into the fifth century. Contains 32 mono illustrations.
