A riveting tale of power, betrayal, and ambition, “The Year of Five Emperors: Part 1: Pertinax” immerses readers in Ancient Rome

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, March 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Emperor Commodus's brutal reign has ended, yet the battle for power is only starting. Robert N. Eckert brings to life the tumultuous times of Roman history in “The Year of Five Emperors: Part 1: Pertinax,” which will take center stage at The London Book Fair 2025.

The empire faces a crisis, igniting intense rivalry over the question of succession. The Senate chooses the capable but ill-fated Pertinax, as the Praetorian Guard covets the riches of Didius Julianus. Clodius Albinus asserts his legitimacy through lineage, Septimius Severus commands the legions, and Pescennius Niger captures the hearts of the Roman people. Rival gods actively compete for the hearts and minds of the citizens, intensifying the fractures in an already divided Rome.

In the midst of political upheaval, the book tracks the household of Tullius Secundus, a senator from the old guard, as they navigate treacherous times, seeking stability, love, and purpose. Through vivid historical detail and compelling narrative, Eckert immerses readers in an empire on the verge of collapse, where Rome's fate is at stake and power is gained by any means necessary.

With degrees in mathematics, philosophy, and law, Robert N. Eckert has always had a deep interest in linguistics and history. He teaches in the Detroit area, infusing his writing with a wealth of interdisciplinary knowledge.
