Rise & Fall of a Roman Noble Family: The Domith Ahenobarbi 196BC-AD68

This is the first monograph of the Domitii Ahenobarbi and fills a gap in our knowledge of the Roman aristocracy. The study is more than a traditional genealogy and family history. It furnishes a collective biography of one Roman senatorial family and contributes to a new and more profound understanding of Roman political, religious, social and economic life by focusing on the activities of the protagonists on a wide front.
