The pompa circensis, the procession which preceded the chariot
races in the arena, was both a prominent political pageant and a
hallowed religious ritual. Traversing a landscape of memory, the
procession wove together spaces and institutions, monuments and
performers, gods and humans into an image of the city, whose
contours shifted as Rome changed. In the late Republic, the parade
produced an image of Rome as the senate and the people with their
gods - a deeply traditional symbol of the city which was
transformed during the empire when an imperial image was built on
top of the republican one. In late antiquity, the procession
fashioned a multiplicity of Romes: imperial, traditional, and
Christian. In this book, Jacob A. Latham explores the webs of
symbolic meanings in the play between performance and itinerary,
tracing the transformations of the circus procession from the late
Republic to late antiquity.
