Ten Caesars: Roman Emperors from Augustus to Constantine

byBarry Strauss

In Ten Caesars, Barry Strauss presents a biographical portrait centered on roman Emperors from Augustus to Constantine. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Together, these elements make Ten Caesars an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
