The Theodosian Women Omnibus gathers Becoming the Twilight Empress, Twilight Empress, Dawn Empress and Rebel Empress. Together they follow Galla Placidia, Pulcheria and Aelia Eudocia from the divided empire after Theodosius I through the Visigothic sack of Rome and the long reign of Theodosius II.
The four narratives move between the western courts of Rome and Ravenna and the eastern capital of Constantinople. Captivity, dynastic marriage, regency, religious controversy and succession are viewed through women who had no simple constitutional claim to rule but repeatedly exercised authority as imperial daughters, sisters, wives and mothers.
