The Construction of Authority in Ancient Rome and Byzantium: The Rhetoric of Empire
Takacs, Sarolta A. (Professor and Dean, Rutgers University, New Jersey)
This book examines the role of the Roman emperor and how political rhetoric shaped the ancients' reality and played a part in the upkeep of their political structures. Takács isolates a reccurring cultural pattern, a conscious appropriation of symbols and signs (verbal and visual) belonging to the Roman Empire.
