Representations of War and Violence in Ancient Rome
Violence played a significant role in Roman identity, and images of war and violence were pervasive throughout the Roman world. The myths and history of Rome are filled with brutal acts of rape, fratricide and war. Scenes of violence appear in nearly every medium of representation in both public and private settings, on grand public monuments and small, personal objects. A Roman house might have images of violence on its walls and floors, with su…

Rome, city of
