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. ER -
