A fresh reassessment of one of the most controversial figures of the nineteenth century, 'Julia Domna Syrian Empress' examines key questions in the study of Domna, her power, and her life. Studying this power; ill-defined and resented, the book charts Domna's travels from Aswan to York during a period of great upheaval, and looks at this figure while debating: - Was Domna more powerful then earlier empresses? -Did she promote orientalism, extravagant forms of cult, and the decadence of Rome? -How seriously is her literary circle to be taken? For students of the Classical period, and those enthralled by this striking and fascinating figure, 'Julia Domna Syrian Empress 'will be a must-read.
