John F White has been fascinated by the later Roman Empire, and especially the achievements of Aurelian, since learning Latin at school. When no modern biography of Aurelian had appeared after 30 years, he researched and wrote his own account. He is also the author of The Milk Cows for Pen & Sword.
"Incorporating new material, British historian White has revised and expanded his 2006 life of Aurelian... White weaves into this story not only Aurelian's life, but that of several other emperors as well, plus an ongoing discussion of the evolution of the Roman Army."--The NYMAS Review, Autumn 2017 "White's account is supported by careful research, as demonstrated by extensive notes, some including interesting variant treatments of the evidence, and some very interesting appendices. Well written, The Roman Emperor Aurelian, one of a series on the Roman Emperors from Pen & Sword/Casemate, offers the lay reader an excellent picture of the Crisis of the Third Century and the life and work of Aurelian"--StrategyPage Well written, The Roman Emperor Aurelian, one of a series on the Roman Emperors from Pen & Sword/Casemate, offers the lay reader an excellent picture of the Crisis of the Third Century and the life and work of Aurelian, which can be read with profit by those with a more serious interest in thesubject as well--StrategyPage
