  In Mystics of the Empire, this groundbreaking study delves into the often-overlooked relationship between Roman emperors and magic, offering a fresh perspective on how sorcery and power intersected in the ancient world. While the lives and reigns of emperors have long captivated scholars, the fascinating role of magic in their rule remains a largely unexplored area of historical inquiry. This book examines how emperors were depicted as patrons of magical practices and as victims and persecutors of sorcery, revealing the complex political, social, and religious ramifications of magic in the Roman Empire. 
  From the mystical associations of the early emperors to the later, more controversial reigns of figures like Elagabalus, Mystics of the Empire analyzes the twofold nature of magic’s role — whether it was used as a tool for imperial authority or as a threat to Roman stability. The book explores how emperors employed magicians for their own purposes and how their engagement with magic could be a source of political intrigue and downfall. Drawing on ancient sources and case studies, the narrative illuminates how these magical associations shaped the representation of emperors while also addressing the motivations behind these portrayals. 
  By offering a detailed examination of the magical context from the establishment of the Principate to the end of the Severan dynasty, Mystics of the Empire reveals the intricate interplay between the mystical and the political in ancient Rome. This work challenges traditional understandings of Roman governance, providing readers with a deeper appreciation of how magic was used as a tool of power, control, and subversion in one of history’s most enduring empires.

  Among the best-known ancient cities in our time, the capital of Greece contains much that is fascinating, including many archaeological treasures like the Acropolis and its temples. Athens remains a city both picturesque and dynamic. One third of the Greek population lives here, while its port, Piraeus, holds half of Greece's industry. So, once you have visited the city's temples, why not go round the flea markets or walk to the centre of the old town with its traders and traditional festivities? The return of the Olympic Games to their origins constitutes a major event for the town, providing the visitor with an opportunity to rediscover the beauty of its recently renovated sights.

  Early America’s Most Important...

  Throughout his presidency at the beginning of the 19th century, Thomas Jefferson had worried about the future of the western U.S., seeing that settlements in the Ohio Valley and lower South relied upon the Mississippi River. France’s controls over the region, in his estimation, put the U.S. at a severe disadvantage. His solution proved successful beyond his wildest imagination, for Napoleon did not only sell New Orleans to the U.S, the portion that Jefferson instructed his ministers to make an offer on, but all of “New France,” the entire area of Louisiana. Jefferson might have said later that his purchase of the territory “strained” but did not “break” the Constitution, but also should have boasted that, with one stroke, he had removed one less obstacle to American expansionism. The Louisiana Purchase encompassed all or part of 15 current U.S. states and two Canadian provinces, and it allowed Jefferson to plan something he had talked about since taking office: an expedition deep into the unmapped and largely unknown continent with the final destination being the Pacific Ocean. This could prove the most significant of the goals that Jefferson - a person who thought of himself as a scientifically-minded thinker - wanted to accomplish as president. 
  	In the aftermath of the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition was a much-heralded blow for American rights in the face of international competition, but that was only one of four expeditions authorized by Jefferson. Four years before Lewis and Clark set off, an army officer from New Jersey led two long-distance treks, one northward to the headwaters of the Mississippi River and the other to the Southwest. These were the only expeditions authorized by Jefferson while they were already en route, planned and launched by subordinates within the military. Indeed, the career of Zebulon Pike was “dominated by ambiguously motivated explorations of the American West.”

  The Rothschilds KGB Masterspy...

  The UK’s Cambridge University Ring of Spies were the most dangerous agents the West has known, causing great damage to the intelligence services in the UK and US over more than half a century. Four double agents of the key Ring, Burgess, Maclean, Philby and Blunt were uncovered by 1979. Only two – a husband and wife team – escaped detection. This updated edition of The Fifth Man reveals that the last of the infamous spy ring were Lord (Victor) Rothschild of the grand banking dynasty and his wife Tess. 
  Professor Roland Perry exposes how they became super spies, working concurrently with British Intelligence, the KGB and Mossad. With information from the KGB’s finest master Control, Yuri Modin, devastating testimony from the former head of the KGB and Soviet military intelligence (the GRU), Ivan ‘The Terrible’ Serov, former UK Soviet Embassy spy, Vladimir Barkovsky and a raft of others. 
  After their WW2 espionage for Stalin, which helped defeat Hitler and the Nazis, the brilliantly deceptive Rothschilds went on spying for the Russians well into the Cold War. They contrived in a genius elevation of spy craft to divert suspicion from themselves to the innocent figure of MI5’s Director, Roger Hollis, and a score of others. 
  The Fifth Man update includes thirty more years of deep research in Russia, the UK, the US, France and Australia in the compilation of an extended and compelling narrative. According to the leading publisher of espionage books in the Cold War period, Pan Macmillan’s William Armstrong, this book explained the entire mystery of the main 20th Century British double agents. 
  In an additional expose here, Roland Perry makes a strong case beyond the circumstantial for naming Anthony Blunt, the fourth member of the Ring, as the bastard child of King George V. Blunt was an MI5 agent and curator of the Royal pictures working for his half-brother King George VI, and niece, Queen Elizabeth II.
