Controversial since its discovery, it is depicted here as a keystone in Caracalla’s attempt to revolutionise the public image of the Severan dynasty after murdering his brother. There is an inherent paradox between the apparently progressive nature of the edict, and the volatile emperor responsible for it. The enigma is only heightened by a dearth of ancient evidence relating to the legislation. By combining literary and material evidence with the surviving papyrological record, Alex Imrie shows that Caracalla’s rationale is best understood in an embedded context.Impact of Empire29.CitizenshipRomeRomePolitics and government30 B.C.-284 A.DElectronic books.Citizenship937.07Imrie Alex1067924NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910511426503321The Antonine Constitution2552210UNINA
