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.
