Title: Julia Domna: Syrian Empress Author: Levick, Barbara Publisher: Routledge/Taylor & Francis; Publication Date: 2007 Hardcover; ISBN: 9780415331432 Volumes: 1; Pages: 288 List Price in Hardcover: $110.00 Our price: $110.00 (Add to Cart button is at the bottom of this page) This book covers Julia's life, and charts her travels throughout the Empire from Aswan to York during a period of profound upheaval, seeking the truth about this woman who inspired such extreme and contrasting views, exposing the instability of our sources about her, and characterizing a sympathetic, courageous, intelligent, and important woman. This book contains a fresh reassessment of the one of the most significant figures of her time and questions: Was Julia more powerful than earlier empresses? Did she really promote despotism? How seriously is her literary circle to be taken? As part of a dynasty which used force and violence to preserve its rule, she was distrusted by its subjects; as a Syrian, she was the object of prejudice; as a woman with power, she was resented. On the other hand, Domna was the centre of a literary circle considered highly significant by nineteenth-century admirers. |
