La presencia y posible intervención de Julia Domna en los gobiernos de Septimio Severo y Caracalla.

In this paper we try to analyse the role played by Julia Domna in the governments of Septimius Severus and Caracalla. Women in Rome, regardless of their social status, could not participate in the government. However, in the case of the Lepcian princeps' wife, that historiography has considered her to have interfered in government affairs is justified by the material and literary testimonies that mention her. On the basis of the main references in Cassius Dio, Herodian and the Historia Augusta, we will research whether the Augusta participated directly in imperial decisions or whether, on the contrary, her role was representative, and she was just another instrument of the Severan dynasty.
