Book Reviews of Aurelian and the Third Century
Book Review: excellent reappraisal of 3rd Century Roman history
Summary: 5 Stars
Watson has taken as his subject a poorly documented period of Roman history and written a book that, with humour and academic rigour, lays out the historical context of a Roman emperor who made a real difference to the longevity of the empire, rebuilding a single political unit from three large breakaway empires. Watson's deep knowledge of the sources has enabled him to build a cohesive picture of a period that is difficult to gain a firm understanding of. I'd heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in the later Roman empire.
