Description

Explore the complex relationship between Roman rulers and their subjects in Imagining the Roman Emperor by Panayiotis Christoforou. Published by Cambridge University Press, this historical study examines how the perception of the emperor shaped his actual behavior during the High Empire. Rather than focusing solely on the rulers themselves, this book adopts a fresh perspective by looking through the eyes of the people across the Roman Empire. Through various vignettes and a wide range of sources, the text analyzes the expectations and concerns of subjects, ranging from their hopes for intercessory justice to their fears regarding the absolute power of the throne. It investigates the concept of the emperor as a figure who was defined by how he was imagined to be by those he ruled.
