"The Julio-Claudian dynasty, lasting from 27 BC to AD 68, was the first Roman imperial dynasty. In The Ruler's House, Fertik considers the physical space the emperor called home and the effect it had upon his role as the leader of the Roman state. Fertik argues that the ruler's lack of privacy and his inability to act without public consequence was a central problem early in Roman reflections on monocracy."--Provided by publisher.
