| Opplysninger | "Examines the topography of Severan Rome and its role in Severus' political agenda. Although some elements reflect the emperor's concern for establishing his own legitimacy and the eventual succession of his sons, other aspects of the Severan program are tied to the emperor's broader programs of legal, military, and bureaucratic reforms. This book investigates major areas reshaped by Severus, e.g., the Roman Forum, the Campus Martius, and the Palatine, as well as individual monuments, e.g., the Septizodium, in an analysis of his building program."-- Bokens bakside. - Rome, A.D. 193 -- Creating the message : elements of Severan propaganda -- Usurping history in the Roman Forum -- Respecting tradition in the Campus Martius -- Proclaiming the dynasty : a bold, new Rome -- Living in Rome : the Palatine & beyond -- Supplying the city : administration & public works -- Conclusion : Severan Rome, A.D. 212 -- Appendix I : miscellaneous & doubtful buildings -- Appendix II : selected documents pertaining to the building program of L.
