The Power of Images in the Age of Augustus


Overview

""Art and architecture are mirrors of a society. They reflect the state of its values, especially in times of crisis or transition."" Upon this premise Paul Zanker builds an interpretation of Augustan art as a visual language that both expressed and furthered the transformation of Roman society during the rule of Augustus Caesar. The Power of Images in the Age of Augustus illustrates how the establishment of monarchy under Augustus Caesar led to the creation of a new system of visual imagery that reflects the consciousness of this transitional age.
