The year of the four emperors in AD 193 shows the cosmopolitan interconnectedness of the Roman Empire, yet scholarship has long framed the Severan dynasty in a narrative of descent stressing their North African and in particular their Syrian origins. The contributions of this volume question this conventional approach and instead examine more closely actual Severan policy in the Near East to detect potential local connections that determined this policy as well as how local communities and elites reacted to it. The volume thus explores new beginnings and old connections in the Roman Near East.

Rezensionen
»Insgesamt überzeugt der Sammelband: Er bietet eine vielschichtige Untersuchung der severischen Herrschaft im Osten des Reiches und ermöglicht es dem Publikum, ein auf eine enorme Quellenvielfalt gestütztes Bild des römischen Ostens in der aufregenden Zeit der Severer zu gewinnen.«
Peter Freiherr von Danckelman, H-Soz-Kult, 19.05.2025
