Reviews

This volume serves as an excellent starting point to re-evaluate pre-conceived notions of Domitian's reign and provides a comprehensive study of the reception of Augustus' legacy during the final decades of the 1st century CE. By examining Domitian's reign through the lens of its Augustan Legacy, the reader gains an appreciation for how it was not only particular emperors that drew on Augustus' memory to serve their own political purposes but also artists, poets, and architects. - Gwynaeth McIntyre, University of Otago -- Gwynaeth McIntyre
