The High Tide of Empire

Emperors and Empire AD 14–117

This volume in the LACTOR Sourcebooks in Ancient History offers a generous selection of primary texts on the Roman Empire during the period AD 14-117, with accompanying maps and introductory notes. It provides for the needs of students at schools and universities who are studying ancient history in English translation and has been written and reviewed by experienced teachers. The texts selected include extracts from the important literary sources but also numerous inscriptions, papyri and coin legends, many of these being otherwise difficult for students to access.
