The Dark History of Roman Emperors. From Julius Caesar to the Fall of Rome

Murders, incest, intrigues, corruption… Despite all its unprecedented achievements and unmatched splendor, Ancient Rome had a much darker side of life. Nowhere were the stakes so high, the passions so fierce, and the political games so deadly as at the... very top, at the imperial court. From the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 B.C. to the fall of Rome in 476 A.D., The Dark History of Roman Emperors shows how adultery, incest, debauchery, extravagance, sadism, and madness among eclectic rulers led to the inevitable and predictable collapse of the 500-year-old Roman Empire.
