Modern approaches to Roman imperialism have often characterized
Romanzation as a benign or neutral process of cultural exchange
between Roman and non-Roman, conqueror and conquered. Although
supported by certain types of literary and archaeological evidence,
this characterization is not reflected in the visual imagery of the
Roman ruling elite. In official imperial art, Roman children are
most often shown in depictions of peaceful public gatherings before
the emperor, whereas non-Roman children appear only in scenes of
submission, triumph, or violent military activity. Images of
children, those images most fraught with potential in Roman art,
underscore the contrast between Roman and non-Roman and as a group
present a narrative of Roman identity. As Jeannine Diddle Uzzi
argues in this 2005 study, the stark contrast between images of
Roman and non-Roman children conveys the ruling elite's notions of
what it meant to be Roman.
