The portraits demonstrate a remarkable variety in appearance but relative uniformity in some aspects of their contexts. Many of them were set up beside or near images of members of Augustus' family, especially his heirs. Thus, they were a means to promote the authority of the dynasty and the succession of his family. 1988 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1381400785 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1381400785 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
