Images relating to imperial power were produced all over the Roman
Empire at every social level, and even images created at the centre
were constantly remade as they were reproduced, reappropriated, and
reinterpreted across the empire. This book employs the language of
social dynamics, drawn from economics, sociology, and psychology,
to investigate how imperial imagery was embedded in local contexts.
Patrons and artists often made use of the universal visual language
of empire to navigate their own local hierarchies and
relationships, rather than as part of direct communication with the
central authorities, and these local interactions were vital in
reinforcing this language. The chapters range from large-scale
monuments adorned with sculpture and epigraphy to quotidian oil
lamps and lead tokens and cover the entire empire from Hispania to
Egypt, and from Augustus to the third century CE.
