Roman History V

Service Description

Per the courses title, we pick up our narrative after the assassination of Alexander Severus and his mother by the Roman Army, ending the last of the Severins. We cover the short-lived emperors following this event, culminating in the rise of the so-called “Barracks Emperors,” which in turn led to the radical reconstitution and renewal of the Empire under Diocletian and the Tetrarchy, setting the stage for the rise of Dominate, Christianity and the ascendancy of Constantine the Great, the first Christian Emperor.
