Quote:One question though - I hope you don't mind me saying - was this always going to be the title? When I first saw it on Amazon before seeing the dates, I was expecting it to be about Rome's conquest of the Mediterranean basin or maybe Italy itself, rather than a history of the the Principate/"High Roman Empire".Funny you should say that. When they commissioned it, it was called Rome at War AD 14-193, as it is essentially (sorry) the prequel to Michael Whitby's Rome at War AD 293-696 (which starts with Septimius Severus).
