帝国的胜利：从哈德良到君士坦丁的罗马世界
(us) Michael Kulikovsky
This book presents the history of Rome at the height of its imperial power. From the beginning of Hadrian's reign in Rome to the death of Julian "the Apostate" during the Persian campaign, it provides a detailed account of the complex shapes and often fatal turns of imperial politics, with a sometimes dizzying succession of emperors rising and falling. However, despite this instability, the Romans were able to withstand successive attacks from the Parthians, Germans, Persians and Goths, cementing their position as the masters of Europe and the Mediterranean. This book shows how they do it. Professor Michael Kulikovsky describes the cultural syncretism of the empire in the 2nd century, the political crisis in Rome's Mediterranean world in the 3rd century as it came under the influence of larger forces in Eurasian history, and the reshaping of Roman imperial institutions in the 4th century under Constantine and his son Constantius II. Professor Kulikovsky believes that the Revolution of Constantine was a turning point in the fate of the empire and the beginning of the separation of the Eastern and Western empires. This is an insightful, authoritative, and gripping overview of one of the world's greatest empires at the height of its glory.
