Der Kranz des Kaisers

About this book
Although the emperor’s wreath is omnipresent in Roman art, little attention has been paid to it in classical scholarship, a gap filled by the present work. With recourse to archaeological and written sources, form, function and meaning of the wreaths in (primarily) imperial portraits are, for the first time, analysed and interpreted systematically. The main subject are laurel and oak wreaths. Their employment in cult, triumphs and the military domain is studied, as well as the development of a particular oak wreath, the so-called corona civica , into the imperial wreath par excellence.

Reviews
"Overall, this book presents a well-researched and interesting thesis that is ultimately compelling, and it is a useful reference that collects most of the literary and visual sources pertaining to both Republican and imperial headdress. [...] It is still a worthwhile read and a valuable resource for continuing debate on this important topic."
Lee Ann Riccardi in: BMCR 2013.08.52
"Die breitangelegte und differenziert durchgeführte Untersuchung wird durch einen ausführlichen Katalog und umfängliche Münz- und Skulpturenlisten unterstützt und durch sorgfältige Register erschlossen. Eine ungewöhnlich grosszügige, wohlüberlegte Illustrierung erleichtert die Lektüre sehr."
Dietrich Willers in: Museum Helveticum 1/2012
