Maternal Megalomania
Author: Julie Langford
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421408481
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
How the maternal image of the empress Julia Domna helped the Roman empire rule. Ancient authors emphasize dramatic moments in the life of Julia Domna, wife of Roman emperor Septimius Severus (193–211). They accuse her of ambition unforgivable in a woman, of instigating civil war to place her sons on the throne, and of resorting to incest to maintain her hold on power. In imperial propaganda, however, Julia Domna was honored with unprecedented titles that celebrated her maternity, whether it was in the role of mother to her two sons (both future emperors) or as the metaphorical mother to the empire. Imperial propaganda even equated her to the great mother goddess, Cybele, endowing her with a public prominence well beyond that of earlier imperial women. Her visage could be found gracing everything from state-commissioned art to privately owned ivory dolls. In Maternal Megalomania, Julie Langford unmasks the maternal titles and honors of Julia Domna as a campaign on the part of the administration to garner support for Severus and his sons. Langford looks to numismatic, literary, and archaeological evidence to reconstruct the propaganda surrounding the empress. She explores how her image was tailored toward different populations, including the military, the Senate, and the people of Rome, and how these populations responded to propaganda about the empress. She employs Julia Domna as a case study to explore the creation of ideology between the emperor and its subjects.

Megalomaniac

ISBN:

Pages : 165
Book Description
Listen I am not going to try to sugar coat or candy coat it, there is some crazy ass stuff in this book and if you can’t handle sexual debauchery with descriptive language that describes sexual acts of a perverse nature I strongly encourage you to stick with Cat in the Hat or Winnie the Pooh because if you go into this book your mind won’t be same when you come out if you even make it out, just trust me. The craziest thing about this book is that it is all true and I did every single bit of and then some. Read it at your psyche’s peril is all I can say, and don’t say I didn’t try to warn you because I just did. You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into, ha funny, that is what I used tell the girls that would mess around with me. “Ding dong or ring ring, what are you doing”, ummm hopefully you I’d say! The situations in the book are all real and were done by mature adult people of their own will and volition. This book should only be read by mature adults who may perhaps be able to identify with the raw truth there is in this book. This is not a love story or erotica of a type you may have ever read and there is nothing tender or loving about any of it so if that is what you are looking for this book is not for you. The descriptions are graphic and the situations are all real and took place over the course of 54 years, so far. You have been warned.
