FRATANTUONO, LEE

Caligula. An Unexpected General

Barnsley, South Yorkshire: Pen & Sword Military, 2018. First Edition. Original boards. ISBN: 1526711206. With coloured plates. Light shelfwear. ; "Caligula: An Unexpected General" by Lee Frantantuono offers a nuanced portrayal of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, shedding light on his military endeavors and strategic acumen often overshadowed by his infamous reputation. Frantantuono meticulously examines Caligula's campaigns, particularly his efforts to consolidate Roman power in Germany and Britain. Contrary to the traditional view of Caligula as a mad tyrant, the book presents him as a shrewd leader who sought to expand the Roman Empire's frontiers and strengthen its military presence. Frantantuono delves into historical sources and recent archaeological findings to challenge prevailing narratives, arguing that Caligula's military strategies were innovative and impactful. He highlights the emperor's ambition to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and his ability to inspire loyalty among his troops. The book also explores the political and logistical challenges Caligula faced, painting a comprehensive picture of his leadership. By focusing on this often overlooked aspect of Caligula's reign, Frantantuono provides a balanced and insightful analysis that redefines our understanding of this complex historical figure. ; Octavo ; xiv, 262 pages.
