Roman Imperial Biographies

After Routledge acquired the Batsford Roman History titles in September 1996, a clear set of Roman Imperial Biographies emerged that complemented our own future plans for publishing. Thus the series began.
The Roman Imperial Biographies Series provides a unique and virtually comprehensive collection of the lives and works of the most important Roman Emperors from Augustus, and the genesis of Roman Imperial rule, to Constantine, and the emergence of a rival empire in the East. The biographies analyse the political, military, social and religious impact of the emperors and the satellites, as well as examining the emperors as individuals.
