Septimius Severus et senatores. Septimius Severus’ Personal Policy Towards Senators in the Light of Prosopographic Research (193–211 A.D.), Szczecin 2012. (original) (raw)

The book analyzes Septimius Severus' personal policy towards senators during his reign from 193 to 211 A.D., emphasizing its significance in the context of the evolution of the Roman political system leading up to the Third Century Crisis. The research focuses on the promotion criteria, career trajectories, and social origins of the senators involved rather than providing a comprehensive catalog of the senatorial class. The findings illustrate the selective approach of Severus' administration, particularly in its preference for promoting close allies and family members.
