The Roman Principate was defined by its embrace of a central
paradox - the ruling order strenuously advertised continuity with
the past, even as the emperor's monarchical power represented a
fundamental breach with the traditions of the 'free' Republic it
had replaced. Drawing on the evidence of coins, public monuments
and literary texts ranging from Tacitus and Pliny the Younger to
Frontinus and Silius Italicus, this study traces a series of six
crucial moments in which the memory of the Republic intruded upon
Roman public discourse in the period from the fall of Nero to the
height of Trajan's power. During these years, remembering the
Republic was anything but a remote and antiquarian undertaking. It
was instead a vital cultural process, through which emperors and
their subjects attempted to navigate many of the fault lines that
ran through Roman Imperial culture.
