The Last Emperor of Rome

by Robert Steven Habermann

 

Book Details

Ubi imperator, ibi Roma – where the emperor is, there is Rome.

A tale of emperors and slaves, of Romans and barbarians, and of betrayal and forbidden love. A clash of civilizations, one over a thousand years old, and another rising out of the steppes of Asia and the forests of Scandinavia. It’s 461 AD, and Emperor Julius Valerius Majorian is trying to keep the Western Roman Empire intact. In a prison cell, he reflects upon his life and tries to make sense of the consequences of his actions. The end of a way of life that opened the door to something new and powerful. The reverberations are still felt today.
