Description

Product Description This is the first book to analyse urban social relations in the eastern Roman Empire through the perspective of one elite family. From the late first to the mid-third century CE, the Vedii and their descendants were magistrates, priests and priestesses of local and imperial cults, and presided over Ephesos' many religious festivals. They were also public benefactors, paying for the construction of public buildings for the pleasure of fellow citizens. This study examines the material evidence of their activities - the buildings with their epigraphic and decorative programs – to show how members of the family created monuments to enhance their own and their family's prestige. It also discusses the inscriptions of the honorific statue monuments raised by the city and its sub-groups for the family in return for their benefactions, arguing that these reflect the community's values and interests as much as they commemorate the benefactors and their families. Review 'The book will be a welcome addition to research libraries of individuals or institutions prioritizing work on the Roman East.' Christopher B. Zeichmann, Canadian Journal of History Book Description Shows how inscribed statue monuments and buildings embodied the multiple identities and memories of the Vedii and their city, Ephesos.
