Guarding the Caesars is the story of the survival of the Flavian
emperors in Rome. The dynasty produced three of the most famous and
productive rulers in the Roman Empire. Vespasian built the
Colosseum. Titus won the Great Jewish War of 66-70, and his men
were responsible for the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.
Domitian, perhaps Rome's greatest builder, is responsible for many
of the buildings we connect with Rome today. He was without a doubt
among the most controversial of all Roman rulers and the subject of
much debate still today. The Flavian dynasty begins with the death
of the four successors to the Julio-Claudians and ends with the
dramatic assassination of Domitian in his own palace. In between,
there are numerous attempts to kill the sitting emperor.
Seventy-five percent of all Roman emperors died of
assassination--the highest rate of any monarchy in the world. This
is the story of how the emperors' security services tried to keep
three of them alive.
