Ί hrough various vignettes employing a wide range of sources, Christoforou analyses the emperor through the concerns and expectations of his subjects, which range from intercessory justice to tears ot the monstrosities associated with absolute power. I he book posits that mvthical and fictional stories about the Roman emperor form the substance ot what people thought about him, which underlines their importance for the historical and political discourse that formed around him as a figure. Hie emperor emerges as an ambiguous figure. Loved and hated, feared and revered, he was an object ot contradiction and curiosity. |
