EMPIRE OF BLOODThe True History of Emperor Gaius Julius Verus Maximinus ThraxBorn of blood and a witch’s curse, then driven by his power-hungry wife, an outsider rises through the military ranks, seizes the Empire, and brings it crashing down in a bloody civil war as he pursues a mad quest to destroy the gods of Rome.Roman historian Herodian cites that soothsayers proclaimed Maximinus Thrax – a barbarian of low birth, a wrestler, born of wild spirits in contempt of Roman religion – would grow so lustful of power and blood that he would bring the Roman Empire to its knees. So he did, as the first of thirty emperors over sixty years spanning the “Military Crisis” that led to the collapse of Rome and its religion. Herein we tell the true story of Maximin’s birth, rise to power, chaotic three-year rule, and violent death, just as Queen Elizabeth I retold the same tale. Shakespeare used figures from her recent history as a warning to the inheritors of her empire: we must learn these lessons of history, or we will repeat its tragedies.This monumental, 233-page masterpiece graphic novel features artwork by:Josh Hood, line art.
