CARAUSIUS AND ALLECTUS: THE BRITISH USURPERS
by P.J. Casey
Published by Yale University Press. 1st USA. 1995
Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. Between A.D. 286 and 296, the Gallo-Roman military commander Carausius and his successor Allectus ruled Roman Britain, forming a renegade government there that threatened the stability of the Roman Empire. Using literary, archaeological, and numismatic evidence, the author brilliantly pieces together this little-known but extraordinary episode in the history of Roman Britain. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations.
Base of spine bumped else a lovely copy. Blue dustwrapper is a little scuffed.
