Inhaltsangabe

The Roman Principate was defined by a paradox - it advertised continuity with the past even as the emperor's monarchical power replaced Republican traditions of government. This study traces a series of six crucial moments, in the period from the fall of Nero to the height of Trajan's power, in which the memory of the Republic intruded upon Roman public discourse.

Críticas

'Andrew B. Gallia's Remembering the Roman Republic: Culture, Politics and History under the Principate is a rich and rewarding study of the dynamics of Roman public memory throughout the interconnected realms of, as promised in the subtitle, culture, politics and history ... this book should be read and admired both for taking on such a complex question with circumspection and sagacity and also for doing so with the kind of critical spirit that prefers to multiply rather than subtract and is thus infinitely more valuable.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review
