The period known as the Pax Romana is generally agreed to have occurred between Octavian's defeat of Mark Antony at Actium in 27 B.C. to the death of Marcus Aurelius in A.D.180. During this 227-year period, most of the sharp military conflict was confined to the periphery of the empire, though the civil war kicked off during the Year of the Four Emperors in 68/69 was a glaring exception to this "universal" peace.

On the night before a battle for Rome in 312 CE, Constantine looked up and saw a cross of light. Whether dream or omen is only part of the story; this book follows the far more consequential act—how a private vision was seized, stylized, and weaponized into a public standard that bent law, art, and allegiance toward a new center of power. Part detective work, part courtroom cross-examination of sources, The Day the Cross Rose traces the path from a luminous sign to painted shields, chaotic fighting at the Milvian Bridge, and the slow, stubborn fusion of Christian symbol and imperial ...

On a small September morning in 476 CE a teenage emperor took off his purple and handed it to a soldier. No thunderbolt, no sack of the city—just a quiet exchange that later writers turned into an apocalypse. The Day Rome Fell reads that moment closely: the boy on the throne, the practical bargains that followed, and the surprising durability of law, Senate, and ritual when the title of emperor stopped being decisive. Think of rust—slow, inevitable, altering surface and mechanism alike—and you have the book’s guiding image. This is not a catalogue of ruins. It is a close, clear lens...
