Book Synopsis Child Emperor Rule in the Late Roman West, AD 367-455 by : Meaghan McEvoy
Book excerpt: McEvoy addresses the phenomenon of the Roman child-emperor during the late fourth century. Tracing the course of their reigns, the book looks at the sophistication of the Roman system of government which made their accessions possible, and the adaptation of existing imperial ideology to portray boys as young as six as viable rulers.
