Review: Roman Britain’s Pirate King
Simon Elliot
Book "Roman Britain's Pirate King; Carausius, Constantius Chlorus and the Fourth Roman Invasion of Britain" by Simon Elliott is another book by the famous English historian on the history of ancient Rome. This time we get to know an extremely interesting period in the history of the Roman Empire - the revolt of Carausius from the end of the 3rd century CE. This Roman commander separated Britain and part of northern Gaul from the Roman state and concentrated power in his hands for almost 10 years (286-293 CE), destabilizing the Empire in the north.
