Outline of the History of the Roman Guards
About This Novel
The "Historical Outline of the Roman Guards" edited by Zhang Xiao uses the change of dynasties as a time clue to systematically sort out the history of the development and changes of the Guards over more than 300 years, examines the ins and outs of the Guards, and comments on the history of the formation and development of the Guards. The book consists of eight parts, focusing on the relationship between the Guards and the succession of the throne, thereby examining the status of the Guards in the history of the Roman Empire. During the existence of the Guards, various disputes and civil strife occurred one after another in the Roman Empire for most of the time. Many turmoils were directly related to the Guards. They were not only participants in the turmoil, but sometimes even the initiators. The curve of the social development of the empire coincides with the curve of the evolution of the Guards: when the empire was strong, the Guards also entered a golden period of development. But what this coincidence reflects is that the emperor managed the Guards well. On the contrary, when the incompetent emperors in the history of the empire were in power, the Guards were unscrupulous. The emperor's governance of the Guards and its effectiveness were directly proportional to the peace of the empire. The Guards did not do many good things in the history of the empire. It has a bad reputation and its negative effects far outweigh its positive effects. The overall evaluation of the Guards should not be too high.
