The book focuses on Ulpia Severina, who, even though never mentioned by name in literary sources, has been studied almost exclusively from the perspective of the numerous coins issued in her name and is the subject of many interesting honorific inscriptions that had not been thoroughly examined or adequately valued until this study. This exceptional situation, represented by the sole presence of Ulpia Severina on the throne of Rome, deserves more attention than it has received. The pages of the university history textbooks dedicated to the reconstruction of a fifty-year phase of Roman-imperial history must be, if not rewritten, at least integrated in order to give the deserved space to this empress and, therefore, to the so-called “interregnum,”which lasted at least two months, between the death of Aurelian and the advent of emperor Tacitus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-06-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031286537\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-28651-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210.0cm x148.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 194.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Roma Edizioni Quasar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44676894752908,"sku":"9783031286537","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031286537.jpg?v=1763165552","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031286537","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
