Elite Romans periodically chose to limit or destroy the memory of a
leading citizen who was deemed an unworthy member of the community.
Sanctions against memory could lead to the removal or mutilation of
portraits and public inscriptions. Harriet Flower provides the
first chronological overview of the development of this Roman
practice--an instruction to forget--from archaic times into the
second century A.D. Flower explores Roman memory sanctions against
the background of Greek and Hellenistic cultural influence and in
the context of the wider Mediterranean world. Combining literary
texts, inscriptions, coins, and material evidence, this richly
illustrated study contributes to a deeper understanding of Roman
political culture.
