About This Book

The author traces the lives and influence of Rome's imperial consorts from the early principate through the collapse of the Western Empire, presenting biographical sketches set against political, social, and religious backdrops. Chapters treat the institutional making of an empress, notorious and respected wives, Syrian and Eastern dynastic figures, the emergence of Christian empresses, and the final Western imperial women. Narrative threads connect personalities to broader trends, and the study is illustrated with portraits and coin types to illuminate public image and private power.

Transcriber’s Note

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unpaired quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unpaired.

Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been collected and moved to precede the Index.

The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.
