Some advertised their impressive military campaigns and triumphs whilst others built monumental complexes in the city of Rome for the people to enjoy. One strategy that grew in prominence was for these powerful individuals to claim a close and personal relationship with a particular deity, who might, therefore, be thought to protect them and elevate them above other mortals. Julius Caesar boasted that his family descended from the goddess Venus and the god Apollo was depicted as leading Augustus' navy against Cleopatra and Mark Antony at the crucial battle of Actium. During this paper, I shall explore the development of these claims to divine support and interrogate how and why they might legitimise claims to political power; to what extent did they help Augustus successfully establish the first dynasty of emperors and a new system of government?A LIVE Lit &amp; Phil Event | FREE(If you would prefer to book directly over the phone, please call the Library Desk team on 0191 232 0192 and they will be happy to help)There is no set ticket price for this event, but if you would like to make a small donation to support the good work of The Lit &amp; Phil we would be very grateful.
