Images of Late Roman Emperors

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Hi,

I'm putting together some initial thoughts on how the image of the Roman Emperor was used in the period from Constantine to 476 AD- what image of themselves did they want to portray, and how these were used to boost/ prop up their standing.

I'm sure that there are some images that I've missed - and it struck me that it would be a good resource for RAT as well. Could you post images of Roman emperors from all sources (ideally with a description of the piece, where it is now and the name and dates of the Emperor?

And if you PM me your email, I will send you a copy of the short paper once it is produced (before the summer).

Thanks!

Just look at coins. Everyone used them, so everyone would see their emperor: if they wanted to portray a "Seperate but united empire" they would show both Emperors (E.g. Imperial Issued of Valentinian III and Theodosius II, Constantinople Mint)
