The Use of Propaganda on an Augustan Denarius Jens Ibsen & Melissa Miller ABSTRACT Our coin is a silver denarius minted in Lugdunum (now Lyon), most likely under the reign of Augustus, the first emperor of Rome. There are factors which point to a possibility of the coin being a restitution Above: A Comparable Trajan AR Denarius(c. 98 -117 CE) issue minted under either Trajan or Hadrian, such as its pristine Source; http://tjbuggey.ancients.info/ condition, which implies a lack of use, and the similarity of symbols employed on this denarius and denarii of Trajan’s era. The coin is a prime example of Augustus’ use of propaganda inserted into Roman daily life to sell the idea of empire to a Roman people who ardently defended a long-standing tradition of republican government. -
Divus Augustus Pater.” Divus Augustus Was a Title That Was Granted to Him After His Death, Meaning Divine Augustus
Ryan Mathison Coin 17 The reign of Caesar Augustus is often the point at which historians consider that the Roman Empire began, and the Roman Republic ended. The reign of Augustus, from 27BCE-14CE allowed for some of the greatest cultural developments in the western world, and helped bring an already powerful nation to another level of dominance in the world. As such, he is remembered to this day as a giant in the history of the west. This coin from the St. Olaf Collection demonstrates how he was portrayed to the Romans soon after his death, during the reign of the Emperor Tiberius, from 14-37 CE. This coin features, on the obverse, the head of Augustus, facing left, with the words “Divus Augustus Pater.” Divus Augustus was a title that was granted to him after his death, meaning divine Augustus. Pater, in Latin, means father, and is part of a title which was granted to Augustus. This title, Pater Patriae, meaning father of the fatherland, was a major title that was granted to people who did a great service to Rome. On this same side, there is also a star and a thunderbolt. The star, placed between the first “U” and “S” in Augustus, is a reference to one of the stars in the constellation Aquila. It was probably present between 4 and 2 BCE, during the reign of Augustus, and was put on the coins as a reference to his greatness, as such a celestial event must give legitimacy and divine providence to a leader.1 The Thunderbolt is a reference to Jupiter, king of the gods, and one of the patrons of Rome. -

Due to the hagiographie efforts of Plato and Xenephon, Socrates has assumed the role of an exemplar of virtue and a martyr of free thought. One submerged feature of this portrait drawn by his disciples is Socrates' status as a victim of democracy, whose unjust fate vin dicates his own antagonism to popular government. -

Ancient Narrative Volume 6
Maecenas and Petronius’ Trimalchio Maecenatianus SHANNON N. BYRNE Xavier University This paper examines Petronius’ use of Maecenas as a model for specific behaviors and traits that Trimalchio exhibits throughout the Cena. At first glance Seneca’s distinct portrait of an effeminate Maecenas ruined by his own good fortune seems to have informed Petronius’ characterization of Trimalchio. I have argued elsewhere that the target of Seneca’s intense criti- cism of Maecenas was not Augustus’ long-dead minister, but rather a con- temporary who had replaced Seneca in influence at court; someone whose character and tastes were wanton compared to Seneca’s; someone who en- couraged Nero’s less savory tendencies instead of keeping them hidden or in check as Seneca and Burrus had tried to do; someone who resembled Mae- cenas in character and literary enthusiasm; in short, someone very much like Petronius himself. Petronius understood the implications in Seneca’s attacks on Maecenas, and as if to stamp approval on the fact that he and Maecenas were indeed alike in many ways, Petronius took pleasure in endowing his decadent freedman with the very qualities that Seneca meant to be demean- ing.1 Although my focus is on Maecenas, it is obvious that Petronius spared no effort in rounding out Trimalchio and all the freedmen at the banquet with mannerisms and conduct that would recall memorable literary characters in works from Plato’s Symposium to Horace’s Cena Nasidiensi and beyond.2 ————— 1 For a discussion regarding Seneca’s attacks on Maecenas and the argument that Petronius was their intended victim, see Byrne 2006, 83–111. -

That the family of the Octavii was of the first distinction in Velitrae [106], is rendered evident by many circumstances. For in the most frequented part of the town, there was, not long since, a street named the Octavian; and an altar was to be seen, consecrated to one Octavius, who being chosen general in a war with some neighbouring people, the enemy making a sudden attack, while he was sacrificing to Mars, he immediately snatched the entrails of the victim from off the fire, and offered them half raw upon the altar; after which, marching out to battle, he returned victorious. -

Photograph courtesy of Wikimedia Commons (Public Domain) The Portrait of Cosimo il Vecchio, c. 1519, marked the first Medicean portrait commission for the rising young Florentine artist Jacopo Pontormo (b.1494). [Figure1] It proved pivotal in his career, garnering him the favour and patronage of the Medici, who would continue to give him commissions and eventually place him on their payroll, where he remained for over twenty-four years until his death in 1556.1 At the time this commission was given, however, there was no such future surety: the family was facing a crisis, and the survival of the Medici line was in grave doubt. In 1516, Duke Giuliano de’ Medici, the youngest son of Lorenzo the Magnificent and ruler of Florence, had died childless at the age of thirty-seven. In 1519, his twenty-six-year-old nephew and successor, Duke Lorenzo, succumbed to a combination of syphilis and tuberculosis just twenty-one days after the birth of his only daughter Catherine. Their unexpected deaths left the family with no legitimate heir to power. There was one 1 Elizabeth Pilliod, Pontormo, Bronzino, Allori: a genealogy of Florentine art, New Haven: Yale University Press, 2001, 17.

One of the most kindly and young spirited, he is also one of the most versatile of Greek writers, and his influence has worked by devious ways to the most varied results. His treatise on the Education of Children had the honour to be early translated into the gravely charming prose of Sir Thomas Elyot, and to be published in a black- letter quarto 'imprinted,' as the colophon tells us, 'in Fletestrete in the house of Thomas Berthelet.' The same work was drawn upon unreservedly by Lyly in the second part of Euphues, and its teachings reappear a little surprisingly in some of the later chapters of Pamela. -
