This volume presents current research on a variety of questions related
to Roman emperors' uses of images and architecture. Drawing mainly on
sculpture, coinage, and architecture, the papers consider topics ranging
from the beard of Nero to Antonine funeral pyres to the roles of arches
in shaping urban landscapes. Chronologically, the volume covers the
reigns of Augustus through Constantine, and it examines the use of
imagery by empresses as well as emperors. The contributors are Fae
Amiro, Steven Burges, Laura L. Garofalo, Evan Jewell, Lillian Joyce,
Jacob A. Latham, and Rosa Maria Motta, Gretel Rodriguez.
