"The passage from Imperial Rome to the era of late antiquity, when the Roman Empire underwent a religious conversion to Christianity, saw some of the most significant and innovative developments in Western culture. This stimulating book investigates the role of the visual arts, the great diversity of paintings, statues, luxury arts, and masonry, as both reflections and agents of those changes. Elsner's ground-breaking account discusses both Roman and early Christian art in relation to such issues as power, death, society, acculturation, and religion. By examining questions of reception, viewing, and the culture of spectacle alongside the more traditional art-historical themes of imperial patronage and stylistic change, he presents a fresh and challenging interpretation of an extraordinarily rich cultural crucible in which many fundamental developments of later European art had their origins. This second edition includes a new discussion of the Eurasian context of Roman art, an updated bibliography, and new, full colour illustrations."--

The age of Nero has appealed to the popular imagination more than any other period of Roman history. This volume provides a lively and accessible guide to the various representations and interpretations of the Emperor Nero as well as to the rich literary, philosophical and artistic achievements of his eventful reign. The major achievements of the period in the fields of literature, governance, architecture and art are freshly described and analysed, and special attention is paid to the reception of Nero in the Roman and Christian eras of the first centuries AD and beyond. Written by an international team of leading experts, the chapters provide students and non-specialists with clear and comprehensive accounts of the most important trends in the study of Neronian Rome. They also offer numerous original insights into the period, and open new areas of study for scholars to pursue.

Tout rapprochement entre l’Antiquité et le monde contemporain peut paraître saugrenu si l’on veut comparer les moyens de diffusion de l’information. Pourtant, l’histoire de la communication dans le monde romain a suscité de nombreuses recherches avec, comme principaux centres d’intérêt, les rapports entre le centre et la périphérie, entre gouvernants et gouvernés. On ne saurait, cependant, la réduire à cela. Le monde moderne n’a rien inventé en matière de diffusion d’une idéologie ou d’utilisation de la propagande ; le pouvoir impérial romain s’est même révélé à partir d’Auguste un maître en la matière. La transmission des messages du pouvoir, les vecteurs de l’idéologie et de la propagande dynastique constituent un vaste champ de recherche qui n’a pas été complètement exploré même si l’attention s’est beaucoup focalisée sur les capitales provinciales et les fondations coloniales romaines. Précisément, l’espace urbain a été conçu dans l’Antiquité comme un lieu de représentation du pouvoir et les transformations urbanistiques sous l’Empire ont souvent été dictées par la volonté de mettre en scène celui qui le détenait. L’omniprésence de la figure impériale ou des images de la dynastie est au cœur des questions que ce colloque a tenté de résoudre.
