The Triumph of Empire takes readers into the political heart of imperial Rome and recounts the extraordinary challenges overcome by a flourishing empire. Michael Kulikowski's history begins with the reign of Hadrian, who visited the farthest reaches of his domain and created stable frontiers, and spans to the decades after Constantine the Great, who overhauled the government, introduced a new state religion, and founded a second Rome.

Factionalism and intrigue sapped the empire from within, even at its apex. Roman politics could resemble a blood sport: rivals resorted to assassination; emperors rose and fell with bewildering speed, their reigns measured in weeks, not years; and imperial succession was never entirely assured. Canny emperors--including Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus, and Diocletian--constantly cultivated the aristocracy's favor to maintain a grip on power. Despite such volatility, the Roman Empire protected its borders, defeating successive attacks from Goths and Germans, Persians and Parthians. Yet external threats persisted and the imperial government sagged under its own administrative weight. Religion, too, was in flux with the rise of Christianity and other forms of monotheism. In the fourth century CE, Constantine and his heirs reformed imperial institutions by separating civilian and military hierarchies, restructuring the government of both provinces and cities, and ensuring the prominence of Christianity.

The Triumph of Empire is a fresh, authoritative narrative of Rome at its height and of its evolution--from being the central power of the Mediterranean world to becoming one of several great Eurasian civilizations.

Good fiber supplement
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Good supplement, wish it came with a scoop. Sometimes there might be a “chunk” that doesn’t dissolve so you get to chew something with your drink, it happens rarely but does happen. Took a while but feel regular and easy to take if you do protein shakes everyday. No taste and mixes well.

Confirmed GLP-1 Friendly and Easy to Use this isa staple in my home.
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
I am so pleased with this Benefiber Daily Prebiotic GLP-1 Friendly Fiber Supplement Powder! As someone looking for GLP-1 friendly options, I can happily **confirm it is GLP-1 friendly** and works perfectly with my dietary needs. It's completely unflavored, which is fantastic because it doesn't alter the taste of my favorite drinks. I've made it a part of my daily routine by simply adding it to my morning cup of hot tea, and it dissolves quickly and completely without any grittiness. This is an excellent way to effortlessly boost my fiber intake and support my digestive health. Highly recommend!

Benefiber is beneficial
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Benefiber works well with my IBS-C along with other supplements. It’s so much better than that other “orange-Flavored”product. This dissolves easily and is tasteless.
