Korner's dissertation provides a detailed analysis of the documentary, literary, epigraphic and numismatic evidence for the reign of Philip the Arab who governed the Roman Empire between 244 and 249 AD in the manner, so Korner argues, of the Antonine and Severan emperors. Sections examine Philip's method of government, his relationship with the Senate, army and people, his eastern city of Philippopolis, Christianity, rebellion, his family and legacy, all set within the context of the 3rd-century crisis in the Roman Empire. Heavily annotated German text.
