{"product_id":"the-divinization-of-caesar-and-michael-koortbojian-9780521192156","title":"The Divinization of Caesar and Augustus: Precedents, Consequences, Implications","description":"This book examines the new institution of divinization that emerged as a political phenomenon at the end of the Roman Republic with the deification of Julius Caesar. Michael Koortbojian addresses the myriad problems related to Caesar's, and subsequently Augustus', divinization, in a sequence of studies devoted to the complex character of the new imperial system. These investigations focus on the broad spectrum of forms - monumental, epigraphic, numismatic, and those of social ritual - used to represent the most novel imperial institutions: divinization, a monarchial princeps, and a hereditary dynasty. Throughout, political and religious iconography is enlisted to serve in the study of these new Roman institutions, from their slow emergence to their gradual evolution and finally their eventual conventionalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Koortbojian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521192153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521192156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014 pg. 137","brand":"Michael Koortbojian","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946714595583,"sku":"9780521192156","price":138.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6f9e3e9b-bfa9-400f-8466-82e5ff978b23.jpg?v=1681514717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-divinization-of-caesar-and-michael-koortbojian-9780521192156","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
