Restraint, Control, and the Fall of the Roman Republic, written by Paul Belonick
Gendering Roman Imperialism
For more than fifty years the standard debates about Roman Imperialism were written more or less entirely in terms of male agency, male competition, and male participation. Not only have women been marginalized in these narratives as just so much collateral damage but there has been little engagement with gender history more widely, with the linkages between masculinity and warfare, with the representation of relations of power in terms of gender…
Roman attitudes to empire and imperialism
In a letter written to Atticus in mid March 60 B.C., Cicero ( Att . 1.19.2) flagged up a number of concerns regarding the situation in Gaul: In public life at the moment, fear of a Gallic war is the big issue. For the Aeduans, our brothers, have recently fought a hard fight and without doubt the Helvetii are up in arms and making excursions into the province. The senate has decreed that the consuls should cast lots for the two Gauls, that levies …
Pax and the Politics of Peace
This book examines the two generations that spanned the collapse of the Republic and the Augustan period to understand how the concept of pax Romana , as a central ideology of Roman imperialism, evolved. The author argues for the integral nature of pax in understanding the changing dynamics of the Roman state through civil war to the creation of a new political system and world-rule. The period of the late Republic to the early Principate involve…
The Pax Augusta
The subjugation of the Western provinces was celebrated by the dedication of an altar to Augustan Peace (the ara Pacis Augustae) at Rome. This chapter examines in detail the dedication of that highly complex, senatorial monument at Rome. The altar is, as far as the surviving evidence and our literary sources indicate, the first monumental display directly associated with the personified form of Pax. In this commemoration pax was qualified as ‘Aug…
Conclusion
Peace had dominated the discourse on the nature of Roman imperialism as the political institutions of the state were questioned and debated during the civil wars of the 40s and 30s BC, to the slow reformulation of powers around the single person of Augustus. The evolution of an imperial conception of peace from the early stages of the representations of pax augusta during the slow birth of the new political structures to a fully fledged idea of t…
The Meaning of Pax
This chapter examines the semantic range of the concept of pax, considering its place in the Roman imaginary alongside ‘associated concepts’ (particularly concordia , otium , bellum , and victoria ). The traditional Republican meaning and uses of the term pax are examined in a variety of contexts (contemporary prose, poetry, historical writings, numismatics, and religious dimensions) in order to establish more precisely the conceptualization and …
Peace in Civil War
This chapter examines the pressures that the civil wars of the 40s exerted on the conventional political language of the Republic, focusing in particular on the central role of pax in the debates of the time. The letters and speeches of Cicero provide major source material for this period and offer different viewpoints between the expedient and less guarded use of the term pax in order to examine the crisis of the Republic. The literary engagemen…
Peace over Land and Sea
The focus of this chapter is on understanding the earliest stages of Augustus’ regime and its self-representation in terms of pax , exploring how peace fits into the profuse displays of triumphal ideology and rhetoric in the aftermath of the final decade of civil war. Augustus’ triple triumph cemented his position within the state in 29 BC. In this context the lack of a developed iconography for pax (compared to that of victoria ) is tackled, par…
Peace in the New Age of Augustus
This chapter examines the evolution of pax at Rome within the wider display of the new age ( novum saeculum ), which is intimately associated with Augustus’ control over the res publica and empire. The monumentalization and dramatization of pax with external peoples is analysed through the lens of how Augustus and the senate depicted diplomatic success with the Parthians at the end of the 20s BC, after decades of unsuccessful military campaigns. …
The King Who Would Be Prefect
This paper examines the language of power and authority in the Italian Alps, after the Roman pacification of the area in 14 b.c. The focus of the examination is an arch set up at Segusio to Augustus by a local dynast named Cottius, which allows us to consider how the incorporation of the region into the Roman Empire was perceived and presented from a ‘local’ point of view, and how we might use our interpretations to construct ideas of identity an…
