Summary
"Exploring the history of internal security under the first Roman dynasty, this book answers the enduring question: If there were 9,000 men guarding the emperor, why did Rome have the highest rate of assassination of any world empire? Sheldon concludes that the repeated problem of "killing Caesar" reflected the empire's larger dynamics and turmoil"--, Provided by publisher
