Julie Langford. Maternal Megalomania
The provocative title of Julie Langford's book Maternal Megalomania: Julia Domna and the Imperial Politics of Motherhood intimates that Julia Domna, one of Rome's most visible empresses, megalomaniacally used her maternity to wield legitimate political power. The reader's expectation for a sensational page turner in which a formidable woman translates biology into destiny is, however, quickly dashed as Langford strips away the authority generally…
Pledges of Empire
The Ara Pacis presents the most important surviving programmatic statement of the middle years of the Augustan principate. Recent scholarship has focused on the identity and significance of the altar's children, but progress has been constrained by assumptions about Augustus' dynastic ambitions. The altar reflects the political realities and ideals of the year 13 B.C.E., when adult generals were in ascendance, foreign children took center stage, …
Semblance and Storytelling in Augustan Rome
P ast as P rologue Art in the age of Augustus was such a sophisticated blend of monument and national identity that it is hard to believe that it did not emerge full blown like Minerva from the head of Jupiter. In truth, Augustan art was inspired by such diverse civilizations as Ptolemaic Egypt, Classical and Hellenistic Greece, and Republican Rome, yet what it derived from these was merged into an entirely new creation. Almost as if by magic, a …
The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Augustus
The age of Augustus, commonly dated to 30 BC – AD 14, was a pivotal period in world history. A time of tremendous change in Rome, Italy, and throughout the Mediterranean world, many developments were underway when Augustus took charge and a recurring theme is the role that he played in shaping their direction. The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Augustus captures the dynamics and richness of this era by examining important aspects of political …

The great friezes of the Ara Pacis Augustae. Greek sources roman derivatives and augustan social policy
Diana E. E. Kleiner, The Great Friezes of the Ara Pacis Augustae. Greek Sources, Roman Derivatives, and Augustan Social Policy, p. 753-785. Three problems concerning the Ara Pacis Augustae are discussed. It is suggested that the Parthenon frieze was not the sole formal source for the processional friezes of the Ara Pacis precinct wall, but that the family groups of the Augustan altar were based upon comparable groups on late classical Greek grave…
Two Romans Provençal portrait reliefs
Diana E. E. et Fred S. Kleiner, Two Bomano-Provencal Portrait Reliefs, p. 243-257. Two Augustan funerary reliefs with family portraits from «St.-Julien-les-Martigues» and «Les Baux» are discussed. The St.-Julien relief has been variously described, but the authors believe that it depicts a scene of leaveta-king which has close parallels on Hellenistic Etruscan cinerary urns. The rock-cut relief at Les Baux depicts two waist-length figures within …
