Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scriptores Historiae Augustae, Vol. 2: With an English Translation The conclusions of Dessau were carried further by Otto Seeck.1 He, too, held that the biographies are the work of a single writer, but attempted to set him at a date later than Dessau's Theodosian forger, contending that he lived at the beginning of the fifth century. In defence of his theory he enumerated many apparent allusions to the post-constantinian ad ministrative and military system and asserted the presence of many inconsistencies with the earlier period. He discovered also various covert thrusts at the Emperor Honorius2 and concluded that the work was written under Constantine III., a usurper who appeared in Gaul in 407 and maintained his rule for three years.

Download or read book Maximinus Thrax written by Paul N. Pearson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-length biography of the half-barbarian emperor. Maximinus was a Thracian tribesman “of frightening appearance and colossal size” who could smash stones with his bare hands and pull fully laden wagons unaided. Such feats impressed the emperor Severus who enlisted Maximinus into the imperial bodyguard whereupon he embarked on a distinguished military career. Eventually he achieved senior command in the massive Roman invasion of Persia in 232 AD, and three years later he became emperor himself in a military coup—the first common soldier ever to assume the imperial throne. Supposedly more than seven feet tall (it is likely he had a pituitary disorder), Maximinus was surely one of Rome’s most extraordinary emperors. He campaigned across the Rhine and Danube for three years until a rebellion erupted in Africa and the snobbish senate engaged in civil war against him. This is a narrative account of the life and times of the Thracian giant, from his humble origins up to and beyond the civil war of 238 AD. Replete with accounts of treachery, assassination, and civil war, Maximinus Thrax is written for enthusiasts of Roman history and warfare.
