"This book explores how deities were used to communicate and negotiate imperial power
under the Severan dynasty (AD 193-235). Septimius Severus connected his reign to the
divine support of Liber Pater and Hercules, while Caracalla placed a particular emphasis
on the gods Apollo, Aesculapius and Sarapis. Elagabalus' reign was characterised by
the worship of the Emesene deity Elagabal, which resulted in a renewed emphasis on
the cult of Jupiter under Severus Alexander. Numismatic evidence is reintegrated into
the wider material culture of the Severan period in order to bring new insights into
the use of the divine in this period, as well as the role played by the provinces
in the formation and reception of this ideology"--
