The writer and Rector's Commissioner for the Promotion of the Universitat Jaume I's Summer University, Santiago Posteguillo, has vindicated the presence of women throughout history, but has recognised that "we have to look for them", because "the majority of classical historians have been men and have had a tendency to tell the history of men and not so much the history of humanity". Posteguillo, who has participated as a speaker in the course "Women in literature: great female characters and great writers", with which the Universitat Jaume I closes its Summer University in Benicàssim, pointed out that "women were present in the history of Rome more than we had been told". For this reason, he decided to incorporate more and more female characters in his novels until he came to place a woman as the protagonist in his last two works, *Y Julia retó a los dioses* y *Yo, Julia*.

Along these lines, Posteguillo reviewed his search for sources in order to write these latest novels, in which a woman is the main protagonist, and pointed out that he has relied on written sources, but also on numismatic sources, as well as on trips to many of the places that the Roman empress visited during her lifetime.
