The Valencian writer Santiago Posteguillo has won the most prestigious literary award in the world: the Planeta Prize. The winning novel, I, Julia tells the story of Julia Domna, august of the Roman Empire, wife of Emperor Septimius Severus, a fierce woman who managed to concentrate a power never achieved by any other empress in a world of men immersed in the struggle for political power.
As he has left his novels, Posteguillo is a great lover of history and archaeology and has visited the MARQ on several occasions. The last of these was in 2016, and he expressed his interest in getting to know in detail the technical facilities of the Archaeological Museum of Alicante, attending to the explanations of the technical director of the Museum, Manuel Olcina, and the managing director of the MARQ Foundation, José Alberto Cortés.
