Maximinus Thrax: Strongman Emperor of Rome

Maximinus was a half-barbarian strongman â€˜of frightening appearance and colossal sizeâ€™ (supposedly over seven feet tall). From humble origins he rose through the ranks, achieved senior command during the invasion of Persia in 232 and ultimately became Emperor due to a military coup in 235. As Emperor he campaigned across the Rhine and Danube for three years until a rebellion in Africa triggered a civil war. This is an accessible narrative account of the life and times of one of Romeâ€™s most remarkable emperors.
