Tableau colore et puissamment vivant de l’Empire romain en mutation, l’Histoire des successeurs de Marc-Aurele, de Commode a Heliogabale et Gordien (180 a 238 ap. J.-C.), offre le spectacle d’un monde en perpetuel jaillissement. Crises politiques, coups d’Etat, rebellions, epopees militaires : telle est la toile de fond. Sur la scene s’agitent, en un defile baroque, les empereurs : un megalomane inconscient, des ambitieux sans personnalite ni vergogne, un grand capitaine double d’un authentique chef d’etat, un mystique effemine, un condottiere d’humble extraction, qu’escortent des imperatrices cupides, des souveraines possessives ou des freles princes fantoches, et que suit le cortege habituel des courtisans obsequieux, des fonctionnaires cauteleux, des eunuques et des esclaves intrigants.Du sang, de la volupte, de la mort, voila bien la trame de ce roman d’aventures, parfois terrifiantes, qui constitue aussi la chronique politique et militaire, par un contemporain, d’une epoque fertile en peripeties : un document historique unique sur une epoque foisonnante.Denis Roques, docteur es Lettres, est professeur a l’Universite de Metz.
