Description

Discover the definitive English-language biography of Septimius Severus. In this scholarly work from Routledge, Anthony R. Birley examines the life and career of the man who rose from Phoenician settler roots in Tripolitania to hold the highest office in Rome. Spanning his reign from AD 193 to 211, this book explores a transformative period in Roman history. Birley investigates the tension between Severus's African origins and his Roman identity, providing a deep look into his background and political rise. Readers will find answers to historical questions regarding whether he was a cosmopolitan bureaucrat, a new Hannibal on the throne, or a primary cause in the decline of the Roman Empire. This text is an essential resource for students and history enthusiasts interested in the complex relationship between Roman power and its diverse provinces.
