This innovative volume brings together an international team of experts to examine the literary and artistic representations of Roman emperors across more than two thousand years of history. In doing so, it breaks down traditional disciplinary boundaries that have separated the study of emperors in antiquity from their representation in later periods. The individual chapters offer close readings of different texts, media, and contexts, ranging from the \u003cem\u003eAnnals\u003c\/em\u003e of Tacitus, Roman lamps, and triumphal statues to medieval legends, early modern philosophical tracts, twentieth-century novels, and museum exhibitions. Collectively they explore the creative impulses and political agendas that have shaped how we understand Roman emperors today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCaillan Davenport, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of Classics and Head of the Centre for Classical Studies, the Australian National University\u003c\/em\u003e, Shushma Malik, \u003cem\u003eAssistant Professor of Classics, University of Cambridge and Onassis Classics Fellow, Newnham College, Cambridge\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaillan Davenport\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Classics and Head of the Centre for Classical Studies at The Australian National University.
