Triumph and Tragedy: The Rise and Fall of Rome's Immortal Emperors

Alexander Canduci lives in Sydney, Australia and has had a lifelong love affair with ancient and medieval history. His principal areas of interest are the Roman Revolution, charting the years of the fall of the Roman Republic; the Empire of Byzantium from its founding through to the Fourth Crusade; the history of England from the reign of Richard III through to the overthrow of James II; and the history of the Reformation. In his spare time, he reads histories, composes catchy pop songs, and adds more books to his personal library of over 200 works on history. Alexander is the author of the best-selling Pier 9 history title The Greatest Lies in History, published in 2009.
