Domina. The Women Who Made Imperial Rome by Guy de la Bedoyere

Domina is a book published by Yale University Press that tells the story of the first and greatest dynasty of Roman emperors instead through the lives of the empresses, wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters only through whom the bloodline was passed down. A fascinating tale of how women exerted power in the Roman world, Domina (the formal title of the senior woman of a Roman household) covers a remarkable series of events while trying to unravel the truth from misogynistic male Roman historians who were all too inclined to see women as dangerous and destabilizing. The author Guy de la Bedoyere explains in this video why he decided to write the book and what enthralled him about the period.
Domina is available from Amazon and other outlets.
