Popis | This journal article in an annual publication of the National Archaeological Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences studies honorific inscriptions set up by senatorial awarders by which they manifested their formal relationship to emperors. It explores how the meaning of the statues for emperors was shaped as part of the imperial communication. The article elaborates on what the honorific language, as the mediating structure to articulate the interaction between rulers and aristocrats, reveal about the ways in which senators constructed their own ideological representation. |
