Un divieto di affissione del IV secolo d.C.

Abstract

Through the reference to the imperial constitution contained in C. 11.41(40).4, the article focuses the means of protection and promotion of the imperial image, as a tool of political propaganda. The prohibition on juxtaposing the image of the princeps to the pictures of ill-reputed people, such as pantomini, agitatores, histriones, affects the evaluation of civic spaces, in an holistic vision of reality, where beauty and ethics merge.
