THE EMPREROR COMMODUS: God and Gladiator
by McHugh, John
1-253120
A revisionist biography reassessing Commodus' turbulent reign, challenging his enduring image as a mad tyrant. Details how that much of his infamy is clearly based on fact, but reviews the ancient evidence to present a full-length biography of Commodus. His twelve-year reign is set in its historical context, showing that the kingdom of gold he supposedly inherited was actually an empire devastated by plague and war. Explores his reign and the number of plotted murders and conspiracies that only emboldened Commodus.
