Summary
"The death of Nero in AD 68 marks the end of an era in more than one respect. Not only did it mark the fall of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, Nero's suicide also spelt the extinction of the house of the Domitii Ahenobarbi. The emperor was born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus and belonged to one of the most distinguished families of the Roman aristocracy during a 250 year period." "The Rise and Fall of a Roman Noble Family 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."--Jacket.
