Performance, Memory, and Processions in Ancient Rome

Beschreibung

The pompa circensis was a political pageant and a religious ritual that produced a republican, imperial, and even Christian image of the city. In this book, Jacob A. Latham explores the play between performance and itinerary, tracing the transformations of the circus procession from the late Republic to late antiquity.
