Until the publication of this captivating biography, no such volume
on Trajan's life has been tailored to the general reader. The
unique book illuminates a neglected period of ancient Roman
history, featuring comprehensive maps and photographs to help
orientate and bring the text to life. Trajan rose from fairly
obscure beginnings to become the emperor of Rome. He was born in
Italica, an Italic settlement close to modern Seville in
present-day Spain, and is the first Roman Emperor to be born
outside of Rome. His remarkable rise from officer to general and
then to emperor in just over 20 years reveals a shrewd politician
who maintained absolute power. Trajan's military success in taking
the Roman Empire to its greatest expanse is highlighted in this
gripping biography. Trajan's military campaigns allowed the Roman
Empire to attain its greatest military, political and cultural
achievements. The book draws on novel theories, recent evidence and
meticulous research, including field visits to Italy, Spain,
Germany and Romania to ensure accurate, vivid writing that
transports the reader to Trajan's territory.
