The biography of a 1st century Imperial Roman officer whose colorful life and remarkable career spans many of the era’s major events. Few Imperial Romans below the level of emperor left a historic imprint as complete or as fascinating as that of Petilius Cerealis. From Boudicca’s rebellion in Britannia to the infamous ‘;year of the four emperors’ in Rome, Cerealis had a knack for getting caught up in some of the most significant and dangerous episodes of his timeand somehow emerging unscathed. This lively biography offers a rare glimpse into the life of an Imperial Roman officer during the Principate. As a Legion Commander in Roman Britain, Cerealis was in charge of quashing the revolt led by Queen Boudicca of the Iceni. In 69 CE, the year after Emperor Nero’s suicide, Cerealis was in Rome while his uncle Vespasian was preparing to seize the empire. In danger of losing his life as a traitor, Cerealis fled to join his uncle as he charged the capital. Later, while commanding a force on the Rhine, Cerealis escaped the Batavian mutiny because he was in a local woman’s bed rather than his own tent.
