Books like Yo, Julia by Santiago Posteguillo


The book traces the life and accomplishments of Julia Domna, the influential wife of Emperor Septimius Severus and mother of Caracalla, highlighting her role as an administrator and her support for learning and science. It provides a historically accurate portrayal of Rome during the Year of the Five Emperors—Commodus, Pertinax, Gaius Caligula, Clodius Albinus, and Septimius Severus—and chronicles the three major battles undertaken by Severus: the Battle of Issus against Pescennius Niger, the Siege of Byzantium, and the Battle of Lugdunum in modern-day Lyon against Clodius Albinus. While the manuscript offers an in‑depth view of this period, it has not yet been translated into English.
