Spectacular Power in the Greek and Roman City
Bell, Andrew (Associate Professor of History, University of Nevada, Las Vegas)
In the cities of Greece and Rome, politicians and kings sought to be seen as celebrities. They tried to appear wondrous and exciting to citizens and subjects. This study shows some of their methods and so reveals the importance of political advertisement and spectacle in societies that saw great kings but also pioneered democracy and republicanism.
