520    The Triumph of Empire takes readers into the political 
       heart of imperial Rome and recounts the extraordinary 
       challenges overcome by a flourishing empire. Michael 
       Kulikowski's history begins with the reign of Hadrian, who
       visited the farthest reaches of his domain and created 
       stable frontiers, to the decades after Constantine the 
       Great, who overhauled the government, introduced a new 
       state religion, and founded a second Rome. Factionalism 
       and intrigue sapped the empire from within, even at its 
       apex. Roman politics could resemble a blood sport: rivals 
       resorted to assassination; emperors rose and fell with 
       bewildering speed, their reigns measured in weeks, not 
       years; and imperial succession was never entirely assured.
       Canny emperors--including Marcus Aurelius, Septimius 
       Severus, and Diocletian--constantly cultivated the 
       aristocracy's favor to maintain a grip on power. Despite 
       such volatility, the Roman Empire protected its borders, 
       defeating successive attacks from Goths and Germans, 
       Persians and Parthians. Yet external threats persisted and
       the imperial government sagged under its own 
       administrative weight. Religion, too, was in flux with the
       rise of Christianity and other forms of monotheism. In the
       fourth century CE, Constantine and his heirs reformed 
       imperial institutions by separating civilian and military 
       hierarchies, restructuring the government of both 
       provinces and cities, and ensuring the prominence of 
       Christianity. The Triumph of Empire is a fresh, 
       authoritative narrative of Rome at its height and of its 
       evolution--from being the central power of the 
       Mediterranean world to becoming one of several great 
       Eurasian civilizations.--|cProvided by publisher.
