Abstract Details

2004, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Classics.
This thesis charts the ways in which the Antonine dynasty (138-192 A.D.) was commemorated in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis. The main historical events affecting the dynasty are considered in an attempt to discern the outlines of an imperial ideology. The thesis then addresses the history, society and culture of Africa Proconsularis during the Antonine period. By analyzing the epigraphy and iconography on several different types of Antonine monuments from the province and by comparing these monuments with the modes of commemoration in the capital, the varying ways in which the Antonines were commemorated on the provincial level are charted. In general, the specific socio-political context of Africa Proconsularis influenced modes of dynastic commemoration, since the majority of the monuments analyzed seem to follow the visual propaganda in use at Rome. Nevertheless, some local varieties of commemoration can be distinguished.
