This book is the story of the survival of the Flavian emperors in Rome, a place where seventy-five percent of all emperors died of assassination. It explores the methods used by the emperor Vespasian to establish a new dynasty out of the chaos of civil war, to maintain his power, and to pass along the dynasty to his two sons, Titus and Domitian.

Industry Reviews

A new and fascinating perspective on the Flavian regime, and the best book on the dynasty for decades.

In this book, Sheldon continues with the question - why were so many Roman emperors assassinated?, focusing on the need for security in the next dynasty of emperors and why that security did not always work. Utilizing not only evidence from the works of ancient authors, but also evidence from inscriptions, coin legends, and imperial sculpture and architecture.This new and important focus makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Roman history.
