The Severans analyses the colourful decline of the Roman Empire
during the reign of the Severans, the first non-Italian dynasty. In
his learned and exciting style, Michael Grant describes the foreign
wars waged against the Alemanni and the Persians, and the
remarkable personalities of the imperial family. Thus the reader
encounters Julia Domna's alleged literary circle, or Elagabalus'
curious private life - which included dancing in the streets,
marrying a vestal virgin and smothering his enemies with rose
petals. With its beautifully selected plate section, maps and
extensive bibliography, this book will appeal to the student of
ancient history as well as to the general reader. Michael Grant is
one of the world's greatest writers on ancient history. His
previous publications include: Art in the Roman Empire, Greek and
Roman Historians and Who's Who in Classical Mythology all published
by Routledge.
