MACMILLAN The Sons of Constantine, AD 337-361 - Macmillan History Book

Explore a neglected era of the Roman Empire with The Sons of Constantine, AD 337-361. This edited collection by Palgrave Macmillan shifts the historical focus away from the well-known figures of Constantine the Great and Julian the Apostate to examine the vital years in between. During this period, the empire was governed by three brothers: Constantine II (337-340), Constans I (337-350), and Constantius II (337-361). While many historians focus on the first Christian emperor or the last pagan emperor, this volume provides new approaches to Byzantine history and culture by looking at the reigns of these three brothers. By studying this specific timeframe, readers gain a deeper understanding of the Roman Empire's evolution. This book fills a significant gap in historical scholarship, offering a detailed look at the leadership and cultural shifts that occurred between two of Rome's most famous eras. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in ancient history and the transition of the Roman world.
