Stephen Williams's book is the first biography of Diocletian to appear in English. It combines the historical narrative of his remarkable reign and those of his fellow-emperors, with a chapter-by-chapter study of each of the great problems he faced, the interlocking solutions he evolved to meet them, and the longer term results. It is both a portrait of one of Rome's greatest and most original rulers, and a political study in the emergence of Absolutism. Also includes four maps.

Diocletian came from humble beginnings to create a revolution in the Roman empire, changing the very concept of "Rome." The reforms that worked, and the reforms that failed (in the context of the influences and emergencies that brought them about) reveal him to have been a bold and thoughtful, even idealistic ruler with a sense of his own limitations.
