Book Description
Julia Augusta examines the socio-political impact of coin images of Augustus’s wife, Livia, within the broader context of her image in other visual media and reveals the detailed visual language that was developed for the promotion of Livia as the predominant female in the Roman imperial family. The book provides the most comprehensive examination of all extant coins of Livia to date, and provides one of the first studies on the images on Roman coins as gender-infused designs, which created a visual dialogue regarding Livia’s power and gender-roles in relation to those of male members of the imperial family. While the appearance of Roman women on coins was not entirely revolutionary, having roughly coincided with the introduction of images of powerful Roman statesmen to coins in the late 40s BCE, the degree to which Livia came to be commemorated on coins in the provinces and in Rome was unprecedented. This volume provides unique insights into the impact of these representations of Livia, both on coins and in other visual media. Julia Augusta: Images of Rome’s First Empress on the Coins of the Roman Empire will be of great interest to students of women and imperial imagery in the Roman Empire, as well as the importance of visual representation and Roman imperial ideology.

Picturing Roman Belief Systems
Author: Murray EilandPublisher:
ISBN: 9781407360720
Category : Coins, Roman
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This is a visual exploration of Roman belief systems and culture through time, with emphasis on what coins can reveal about Roman society. The text is arranged thematically to encompass the diversity of Roman faiths and how they are mediated by other social forces. Special attention is paid to the deep history of Roman traditions, as well as how these traditions were transmitted to Christianity. The primary method of analysis is the application of semiotics to coin images. Semiosis is any activity, conduct, or process that involves signs. This is where non-coin sources like contemporary literature and other arts are useful. These sources can be trawled to reveal the engraver's intent when creating the images used on coins. Particular focus is given to the Roman imperial cult, which lies at an intersection between politics and religion.
