Thus, taking into account Pertinax’s accession to the imperial throne and Heliogabalus’ death, the volume covers the period of Rome’s history from 192 to 222 AD. If we take into account the birth of Pertinax (A.D. 122), the time covered by this set of lives is therefore about a century. The period covered by the lives gathered here coincides with that of the establishment of the Severan dinasty, which followed that of the Antonines, emperors that marked at various levels the Roman imperial apogee. Of all the biographies gathered in this volume, that of Heliogabalus should be, by the wealth of descriptions, the one that best corresponds to a certain contemporary - though not necessarily factual - imaginary of Ancient Rome: a civilisation marked by excess, exoticism, cruelty and perversion.porHistória AugustaHistoriografia latinaHistoriografia romanaRoma AntigaImpério romanoSeverosHeliogábaloCaracalaBiografiaImperadores romanosbookhttps://doi.org/10.14195/978-989-26- 2076-3
