Fides in Flavian Literature explores the ideology of "good faith"
(fides) during the time of the emperors Vespasian, Titus, and
Domitian (69-96 CE), the new imperial dynasty that gained power in
the wake of the civil wars of the period. The contributors to this
volume consider the significance and semantic range of this Roman
value in works that deal in myth, contemporary poetry, and history
in both prose and verse. Though it does not claim to offer the
comprehensive "last word" on fides in Flavian Rome, the book aims
to show that fides in this period was subjected to a particularly
striking and special brand of contestation and reconceptualization,
used to interrogate the broad cultural changes and anxieties of the
Flavian period as well as connect to a republican and imperial
past. The editors argue that fides was both a vehicle for
reconciliation and a means to test the nature of "good faith" in
the wake of a devastating and divisive period in Roman history.
