A learned archaeologist presents a survey of the political art from the Roman Empire. Architecture, coins, friezes, statuary and frescoes are analyzed to demonstrate how the Romans cleverly used these forms to disseminate propaganda and how this influenced Rome’s development from an oligarchic republic to a theocratic monarchy. This is a highly interesting work, and is suitable for both layman and scholar alike.
