The Roman Empire during the reigns of Septimius Severus and his
successors (AD 193-225) enjoyed a remarkably rich and dynamic
cultural life. It saw the consolidation of the movement known as
the second sophistic, which had flourished during the second
century and promoted the investigation and reassessment of
classical Greek culture. It also witnessed the emergence of
Christianity on its own terms, in Greek and in Latin, as a major
force extending its influence across literature, philosophy,
theology, art and even architecture. This volume offers the first
wide-ranging and authoritative survey of the culture of this
fascinating period when the background of Rome's rulers was for the
first time non-Italian. Leading scholars discuss general trends and
specific instances, together producing a vibrant picture of an
extraordinary period of cultural innovation rooted in ancient
tradition.
