WARLORDS OF REPUBLICAN ROME: CAESAR VERSUS POMPEY
by Dr. Nic Fields

The war between Caesar and Pompey was one of the defining moments in Roman history. The clash between these great generals gripped the attention of their contemporaries and it has fascinated historians ever since. These powerful men were among the dominant personalities of their age, and their struggle for supremacy divided Rome. In this original and perceptive study Nic Fields explores the complex, often brutal world of Roman politics and the lethal rivalry of Caesar and Pompey that grew out of it.

THE BATTLE OF ACTIUM 31 BC
by Lee Fratantuono

The Battle of Actium was possibly the most significant military engagement in Roman history. The naval forces of Octavian clashed with those of Antony and Cleopatra off the coast of western Greece. The victory Octavian enjoyed that day set the state for forty-four years of what would come to be known as the Augustan Peace, and was in no small way the dawn of the Roman Empire. Professor Lee Fratantuono presents a compelling and solidly documented account of what took place in the waters off the promontory of Leucas in late August and early September of 31 B.C.

PERSIAN FIRE
by Tom Holland

In 480 BC, Xerxes, the King of Persia, led an invasion of Greece. Its success should have been a formality as, in the space of a single generation, the Persians had swept across the Near East to form an empire which stretched from India to the Aegean. Yet astonishingly, against the largest expeditionary force ever assembled, the Greeks managed to hold out and the Persians were turned back.

IMPERIAL BROTHERS
by Ian Hughes

Valentinian, Valens and the Disaster at Adrianople. Valentian was proclaimed Roman Emperor in AD 364, when the Empire was reeling from the disastrous defeat and death in battle of Julian the Apostate (363) and the short reign of his murdered successor, Jovian (364). With the Empire weakened and vulnerable to a victorious Persia in the East and opportunistic Germanic tribes along the Rhine, not to mention rebellions within, it was not an enviable position. Valentian decided the responsibility had to be divided and appointed his brother as his co-emperor to rule the eastern half of the Empire. Valens is most remembered for his mistreatment of the Goths who sought refuge within the Empire's borders from the westward-moving Huns. This led to his death at the Battle of Adrianople in 378.

THE GOTHIC WAR: ROME'S FINAL CONFLICT IN THE WEST
by Torsten, Cumberland Jacobsen

Small stain on inside page edge. A period of stability in the early sixth century AD gave the Eastern Roman emperor Justinian an opportunity to recapture parts of the Western Empire which had been lost to invading barbarians. Justinian’s army succeeded in checking the Persians in the East and in retaking North Africa from the Vandals and Italy from the Ostrogoths, the strongest and most organized Barbarian tribe. The Gothic War, the climactic conflict over Italy between 535 AD and 554 AD decided the political future of Europe, holding in its balance the possibility that the Roman Empire might rise again.

CONSTANTINE THE GREAT WARLORD OF ROME
by Elizabeth James

Constantine the Great is a titanic figure in Roman and world history. Famed for making Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire and for moving the seat of imperial rule to 'New Rome' (Constantinople), he is most often studied for his religious and political impact. But it is often forgotten that his power and success was made possible by the use of armed force. Constantine won victories over external barbarian armies as well as defeating the Roman armies of his internal rivals in civil war. The author examines Constantine's campaigns and battles, showing that he deserves to be remembered as a great general as well as a great emperor.

THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR
by Donald Kagan

For almost three decades at the end of the 5th century B.C. the Peloponnesian war pitted Greek against Greek. The Athenians with their rich legacy of democracy and political rights were pitted against the militaristic, oligarchic Spartan state. The result was a period of unprecedented brutality and with it came a collapse in institutions, beliefs and restraints.
