Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. For centuries, Roman emperors ruled a vast empire. Yet, at least officially, the emperor did not exist. No one knew exactly what titles he possessed, how he could be portrayed, what exactly he had to do, or how the succession was organised. Everyone knew, however, that the emperor held ultimate power over the empire. There were also expectations about what he should do and be, although these varied throughout the empire and also evolved over time. How did these expectations develop and change? To what degree could an emperor deviate from prevailing norms? And what role did major developments in Roman society such as the rise of Christianity or the choice of Constantinople as the new capital play in the ways in which emperors could exercise their rule? This ambitious and engaging book describes the surprising stability of the Roman Empire over more than six centuries of history. The first systematic analysis of Roman emperorship encompassing the six centuries from Caesar's accession to the death of Justinian. Richly documented and illustrated, it provides a gripping account of the different roles Roman emperors played and of how popular expectations shaped their behaviour.

Prometheus, Amsterdam, 2023. 413p. Paperback. Nice copy. '?Eeuwenlang is onophoudelijk en onverdroten geëxperimenteerd om voor Romeinse keizers een zo herkenbaar mogelijk imago in elkaar te knutselen?, schrijft Olivier Hekster in Heersende verwachtingen. De hoogleraar oude geschiedenis onderzoekt in deze uitstekende studie hoe de Romeinse alleenheersers zes eeuwen lang hun keizerschap vormgaven, welke reactie ze daarmee opriepen en wat voor invloed dat weer had op de houding van de keizers. Waar volgens veel historici de keizers uit de derde eeuw een verhevener status hadden dan hun voorgangers uit de eerste twee eeuwen van het keizerrijk, stelt Hekster dat keizers van begin af aan een verheerlijkte positie hadden. Maar ze moesten behendig laveren. Romeinen waren allergisch voor koningen. Fier droegen ze uit dat ze sinds het schrikbewind van Tarquinius Superbus geen monarch meer hadden, want een vorst regeerde als een meester over zijn slaaf.Vanaf Caesar was de macht in handen van één persoon en diende tegelijk elke vergelijking met een koning voorkomen te worden. Wie te monarchaal optrad, liep het risico zijn leven te verliezen, laten de voorbeelden zien van Caesar, Caligula en Heliogabalus. Zo had Caesar zijn portret op munten laten afbeelden, een revolutionaire daad. Dit en ander koninklijk gedrag kostte hem de kop. Maar nadat zulke geldstukken hun intrede hadden gedaan, was een precedent geschapen. Na Caesars dood werd het muntportret de standaard voor Romeinse heersers. Standbeelden van levende heersers waren ook geen punt meer (.). Toen Caesar postuum werd vergoddelijkt, straalde dat af op zijn adoptiefzoon en opvolger Augustus. Vanwege de snel opeenvolgende machtswisselingen hadden veel keizers vanaf de tweede helft van de derde eeuw geen belang meer bij het vergoddelijken van mislukte voorgangers. (.) Met de bekering van Constantijn ontstond een probleem. Het volk verwachtte nog steeds dat goede keizers na hun overlijden in goden transformeerden, maar heidense vergoddelijking was voor deze eerste christelijke keizer geen optie. Een oplossing werd gevonden in heiligverklaring.' (ELIAS VAN DER PLICHT in Trouw 14.01.2023).…
