Beschreibung

169 AD. - Emperor Marcus Aurelius is distressed by the continuous rebellions of barbarian peoples on the
Danube and by the plague that is decimating the imperial population. To both situations there seems to be no
there is no solution, and yet he finds solace in an unshakable certainty. He has an heir to his throne.
This is his last surviving son, Commodus, whom he proclaimed Caesar three years earlier.
Choosing to start a proper dynasty, Marcus hopes one day to reign together with his son,
making him the cane of his own old age as well as a colleague with whom to work in harmony.
But that will not be the case. And not only because illness will take him away before such can happen.
Commodus, still a child, has already understood power and his position. And he has made a promise to himself.
To become everything but his father's copy.

    This book traces the dramatic stories of five of the most influential empires in medieval and late antiquity, exploring how they rose to greatness, maintained control, and ultimately declined or transformed. 
    Begin with The Fall of Rome, the collapse that set the stage for the medieval world. Learn how internal strife, economic decay, and barbarian invasions led to the downfall of one of history’s greatest civilizations, creating a power vacuum that reshaped Europe. 
    Discover The Byzantine Empire, the eastern continuation of Rome, which blended Roman governance, Orthodox Christianity, and Greek culture to become a resilient power for over a thousand years. From Justinian’s legal reforms to the fall of Constantinople, its story is one of cultural brilliance and gradual decline. 
    Explore the fragmented yet enduring structure of The Holy Roman Empire, a complex patchwork of territories that struggled to balance local autonomy with imperial ambition. This section reveals the ongoing conflicts between emperors and popes, as well as the empire's role in shaping central Europe. 
    Witness the unstoppable rise of The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in world history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, it connected East and West through conquest, terror, and unexpected cultural exchange. 
    Finally, delve into The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, a story of transformation from a frontier beylik into a formidable Islamic empire that would eventually absorb Byzantine lands and challenge Europe for centuries. 
    Together, these five empires showcase the complexity, ambition, and fragility of medieval powers—and how their legacies continue to influence the world today.
