| Abstract |
"This book is the story of the survival of the Flavian emperors in Rome, a place where seventy-five percent of all emperors died of assassination. It explores the methods used by the emperor Vespasian to establish a new dynasty out of the chaos of civil war, to maintain his power, and to pass along the dynasty to his two sons, Titus and Domitian"-- Provided by publisher. |
