Julia Augusta examines the socio-political impact of coin images of
Augustus's wife, Livia, within the broader context of her image in
other visual media and reveals the detailed visual language that
was developed for the promotion of Livia as the predominant female
in the Roman imperial family. The book provides the most
comprehensive examination of all extant coins of Livia to date, and
provides one of the first studies on the images on Roman coins as
gender-infused designs, which created a visual dialogue regarding
Livia's power and gender-roles in relation to those of male members
of the imperial family. While the appearance of Roman women on
coins was not entirely revolutionary, having roughly coincided with
the introduction of images of powerful Roman statesmen to coins in
the late 40s BCE, the degree to which Livia came to be commemorated
on coins in the provinces and in Rome was unprecedented. This
volume provides unique insights into the impact of these
representations of Livia, both on coins and in other visual media.
Julia Augusta: Images of Rome's First Empress on the Coins of the
Roman Empire will be of great interest to students of women and
imperial imagery in the Roman Empire, as well as the importance of
visual representation and Roman imperial ideology.
