GREECE, ROME & CLASSICAL CIVILISATION: BESTSELLERS & RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
God on Earth: Emperor Domitian The re-invention of Rome at the end of the 1st century AD
Edited by Aurora Raimondi Cominesi (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden), Nathalie de Haan (Radboud University), Eric M. Moormann (Radboud University) and Claire Stocks (Newcastle University) An interdisciplinary volume on the emperor Domitian which re-evaluates his importance within Roman history and his reception thereafter. In life, the emperor Domitian marketed himself as a god; after his assassination, he was condemned to be forgotten. Nonetheless he oversaw a cultural revival on a scale not seen since Rome’s first emperor, Augustus. This collection of papers from international scholars offers an interdisciplinary approach to the emperor that begins with an overview of imperial Rome and ends with a reappraisal of Domitian and his legacy.
