“…This was a radical and unprecedented breach of Republican tradition, according to which other officeholders had to rise from their seats for the triumphator.48 A genuflection, however, was a clear sign of submission and nothing that would seem fitting for a triumphator,49 who was traditionally regarded as the highest-ranking man of Rome on the day of the parade. 50 Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Tiberius' genuflection of the year 12 CE has found widespread scholarly attention and led to different interpretations. For example, the action has been interpreted as an act of pietas for Augustus,51 a recognition of the princeps' superiority,52 and as a "gesture of reconciliation".53 Although all these interpretations describe correctly what Tiberius' genuflection, if true, expressed on a symbolic level, it is remarkable that they mainly only focus on the advantages Augustus would have from his stepson's move.…”

The interaction between ‘history’ and ‘story’ in Roman historiography: the rhetorical construction of the historical image of Nero

This paper examines the way in which ancient historiography makes use of rhetorical and even fictional devices (dramatic poetry as well as the novel) to dramatize in writing down events which the historians obviously consider as being important for their judgement, ideologically or otherwise biased, of historical personalities. An outstanding example for this narrative method is the Roman author most often thought of as one of the greatest historians in all antiquity: Tacitus. It can be shown that he in those of the books of his Annals which concern the reign of Nero makes use of rumours, insinuations and even fictional elements, especially of the ancient novel and novella (examples for this will be taken mostly from Ann. XIII-XVI), and particularly with regard to Nero's relationship with his mother, Agrippina.

The Alternative Augustan Age

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The princeps Augustus (63 BCE–14 CE), recognized as the first of the Roman emperors, looms large in the teaching and writing of Roman history. Major political, literary, and artistic developments alike are attributed to him. This book deliberately and provocatively shifts the focus off Augustus while still looking at events of his time. Contributors uncover the perspectives and contributions of a range of individuals other than the princeps. Not all thought they were living in the “Augustan Age.” Not all took their cues from Augustus. In their self-display or ideas for reform, some anticipated Augustus. Others found ways to oppose him that also helped to shape the future of their community. The volume challenges the very idea of an “Augustan Age” by breaking down traditional turning points and showing the continuous experimentation and development of these years to be in continuity with earlier Roman culture. In showcasing absences of Augustus and giving other figures their due, the chapters of this volume make a seemingly familiar period startlingly new.
