Faint yellowing to rear wraps. ; Few rulers have surpassed the first Roman Emperor Augustus in the use of visual propaganda. The images he chose for his portraits, and the designs stamped on his coins or carved on his public monuments, were skilfully chosen to cloak the reality of his power by setting the benefits of his autocracy against a Republican façade. This book introduces the historical background to Augustan portraiture and illustrates the development of the emperor's public image from the beginning of his career in 44 BC to the posthumous portraits which likened him to a god. Includes images of coins of Alexander the Great, Seleucus, Julius Caesar and others. ; 47 pages

Review of book tipped in. Dustjacket has faint creasing; 0.85 x 9.32 x 6.32 Inches; 240 pages; Theseus is celebrated as the greatest of Athenian heroes. This work explores what he meant to the Athenians at the height of their city-state in the fifth century B. C. Assembling material that has been scattered in scholarly works, Henry Walker examines the evidence for the development of themyth and cult of Theseus in the archaic age. He then looks to major works of classical literature in which Theseus figures, exploring the contradictions between the archaic, primitive side of his character and his refurbished image as the patron of democracy. His ambiguous nature as outsider, flouting accepted standards of behavior, while at the same time being a hero-king and a representative of higher ideals, is analyzed through his representations in the work of Bacchylides, Euripides, and Sophocles. This is the only work of scholarship that examines the literary representation ofTheseus so thoroughly. It brings to life a literary character whose virtues, flaws, and contradictions belong in no less a degree to his creators, the people of Athens.
