The Augustan era (27 BC – 14 AD) was a period of significant political, social, and cultural change in Roman history. During this time, the Roman Empire reached its peak under the rule of Emperor Augustus, who brought about a period of relative peace and prosperity. This era also witnessed the rise of a number of influential royal women, who played important roles in the political and social landscape of the time.
In her book *And Other Royal Women of the Augustan Era: Women in Antiquity*, Dr. Emily Smith provides a comprehensive examination of the lives and contributions of these remarkable women. Drawing on a variety of sources, including historical texts, inscriptions, and archaeological evidence, Smith offers a nuanced and insightful look at their influence and experiences.
