ROMAN ARCHAISM IN DEPICTIONS OF APOLLO IN THE AUGUSTAN PERIOD ALISHA SANDERS HONORS PROJECT Submitted to the University Honors Program at Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with UNIVERSITY HONORS 2 MAY 2016 Dr. Sean V.

Diehl, Department of English & Honors College, Advisor Sanders 2 Abstract: At the end of the first century BCE, the Roman Empire was being established, and Augustus Caesar was taking sole power of the Roman world. In order to spread the values and concepts that he wanted to perpetuate in the new political order, he revived an archaistic art style based on that of the archaic period of ancient Greece. This study is focused on works that include depictions of Apollo because one of the first and most studied examples of Augustus’s use of Roman archaism was the decorative program of the Temple of Apollo on the Palatine.
