书籍简介

《帝国的胜利》展示了罗马帝国权力鼎盛时期的历史。从哈德良在罗马的统治开始，到背教者朱利安在波斯战役中死亡，这本书对帝国政治的曲折和致命转变进行了详尽的描述，历任皇帝的起起落落有时令人困惑。然而，尽管局势动荡不安，罗马人还是击退了帕提亚人、日耳曼人、波斯人和哥特人的连续进攻，并巩固了他们作为欧洲和地中海霸主的地位。这本书展示了他们是如何做到这一点的。

迈克尔·库利考斯基教授描述了罗马帝国在二世纪的文化融合，三世纪罗马地中海地区受制于欧亚历史上更大势力的政治危机，以及四世纪君士坦丁和他的儿子君士坦丁二世对罗马帝国制度的重塑。库利考斯基教授认为，君士坦丁革命是帝国命运转变的枢纽，也是东西方帝国分道扬镳的开始。

这本书对世界上最伟大的帝国之一在其壮丽巅峰时期的全面描述，深刻、权威，完全扣人心弦。

Imperial Triumph presents the history of Rome at the height of its imperial power. Beginning with the reign of Hadrian in Rome and ending with the death of Julian the Apostate on campaign in Persia, it offers an intimate account of the twists and often deadly turns of imperial politics in which successive emperors rose and fell with sometimes bewildering rapidity. Yet, despite this volatility, the Romans were able to see off successive attacks by Parthians, Germans, Persians and Goths and to extend and entrench their position as masters of Europe and the Mediterranean. This books shows how they managed to do it.

Professor Michael Kulikowski describes the empire's cultural integration in the second century, the political crises of the third when Rome's Mediterranean world became subject to the larger forces of Eurasian history, and the remaking of Roman imperial institutions in the fourth century under Constantine and his son Constantius II. The Constantinian revolution, Professor Kulikowski argues, was the pivot on which imperial fortunes turned - and the beginning of the parting of ways between the eastern and western empires.

This sweeping account of one of the world's greatest empires at its magnificent peak is incisive, authoritative and utterly gripping.
