In this interdisciplinary volume, a team of classicists, historians, and archaeologists examines how the memory of the infamous emperor Nero was negotiated in different contexts and by different people during the ensuing Flavian age of imperial Rome. The contributions show different Flavian responses to Nero’s complicated legacy: while some aspects of his memory were reinforced, others were erased. Emphasizing the constant and diverse nature of this negotiation, this book proposes a nuanced interpretation of both the Flavian age itself and its relation to Nero’s Rome. By combining the study of these strategies with architectural approaches, archaeology, and memory studies, this volume offers a multifaceted picture of Roman civilization at a crucial turning point, and as such will have something to offer anyone interested in classics, (ancient) history, and archaeology.

This chapter considers the issue of continuity and rupture between Neronian and Flavian policies in light of Vespasian's efforts to revive official cult honours for the deified Claudius. Re-examination of the evidence for the status of Divus Claudius during the reign of Nero suggests that the most salient feature of Claudius' divinity was the glory it conferred upon his successor's patriline. Accounts that stress the Flavians' rejection of Neronian precedents thus fail to offer adequate justification for the renewed emphasis that Claudius' cult received under Vespasian. A better explanation can be found in the ideological importance of the imperial cult itself, as the new dynasty sought to build on the example of Divus Claudius as a precedent for its own claims to charismatic authority.
