Abstract

Since the Roman state began in middle-republican times to expand to a Great Power of the Mediterranean, the public spaces of the city of Rome were shaped into stages of political memory and used for ritual manifestations of military rule and imperial ideology. The article deals with triumphal spaces of Rome as structured places of interaction between public architecture and political actors; regarding the power of the emperor the leading question concerns the interrelation between dynamic change and static stability. The investigation is conducted on three levels: first, the practice of public building with allocated roles of the emperor, the senate and other actors, transforming the cityscape into a stage of the omnipresent imperial victor; second, the practice of public actions and rituals within the spaces of triumphal architecture, creating vital experiences of imperial rule; third, the gradual change of public architecture from memorials of dynamic history to the ‘eternal’ presence of universal power, and the transformation of the triumph procession from a testimony of a specific glorious event to an obligatory biographical ritual that every new emperor was expected to perform. As a consequence, the question is raised whether Max Weber’s three types of legitimate rule should be complemented by a forth type of ‘ideological rule’.
