Beschreibung:
The army were the undisputed kingmakers in the tumultuous imperial politics of the later Roman Empire. The Emperor and the Army in the Later Roman Empire, AD 235-395 is the first study solely dedicated to understanding how the Roman emperor tried to maintain the loyalty he needed from his army to survive. It examines the military role the emperor played as imperator and reveals the 'political propaganda' he employed to persuade the army to back him. It also details the myriad of financial and honorific inducements the emperor offered to keep the support of an unpredictable yet politically crucial institution.
