"""Elliott, author of several books about Roman affairs, has a deep understanding of Roman life, especially as it was lived in Britannia. His challenge is that there is very little personal information in accounts of Pertinax's life, and he fills the gaps with more particulars about military life than are likely to interest general readers. The author vividly documents Pertinax's last days and effectively captures the tenor of the era, a time awash in corruption and violence. Roman history enthusiasts will find new material to digest and general readers, useful context for the Roman way of life.""-- Kirkus Reviews 'An authoritative new history unearths the true story of a slave’s son who rose through the ranks to become the Roman Empire’s most powerful man… The author vividly documents Pertinax’s last days and effectively captures the tenor of the era, a time awash in corruption and violence.Roman history enthusiasts will find new material to digest and general readers, useful context for the Roman way of life.’ - Kirkus Reviews"
