Chr. gewidmet und versuchen so, „to disantagle [statt richtig: disentangle] the complex web of propagandistic formats that converge in the figure of the emperor in order to show how these formats were meant to create an ideological wardrobe at the service of each emperor“ (S. 8). Somit sind sie willkommene Bereicherungen zu einem wichtigen Forschungsfeld.‘ Ulrich Lambrecht, in Plekos vol.24.S: 13-23 (2022)
