Emperor Alexander Severus

McHugh, John S.2017
Books
Alexander Severus came to the throne through the brutal murder of his cousin, Elagabalus, and was ultimately assassinated himself. The years between were filled with regular uprisings and rebellions, court intrigue and foreign invasion. Yet the ancient sources generally present his reign as a golden age of just government, prosperity and religious tolerance. John McHugh re-assesses this fascinating emperor in detail.
