Emperors And Usurpers In The Later Roman Empire Civil War, Panegyric, And The Construction Of Legitimacy Oxford Studies In Byzantium
Civil war and usurpation were endemic to the later Roman Empire, with no fewer than 37 men claiming imperial power between 284 and 395 AD. This volume constructs the first comprehensive history of civil war in this period through the ways in which successive dynasties manipulated history to legitimate themselves and to discredit their predecessors.
