„Obsidio Veronae“ und „proelium apud Tiberim“ - Zum Selbstverständnis des spätantiken Kaisertums anhand der Schlachtenfriese des Arcus Constantini

Abstract

is a divergence between the picture-and the text-sources respectively the commentaries of the panegyrists concerning the battle-reports. The difference between both can be explained with the transformation of the late antique empire. The battle scenes of the arch of Constantine communicate the characteristics of imperial representation in late antiquity in an impressive manner.
