Abstract Details

2022, Master of Arts, Case Western Reserve University, Art History.
This thesis seeks to frame the study of the Victory Monument at Nikopolis within the well-established scholarship of the Augustan propaganda campaign. The main facets of this campaign were that Octavian was the savior of the Republic and that he was a worthy heir to Alexander the Great and other great men of the past, and in fact surpassed them. Each component of the Victory Monument contributed to these facets of his propaganda campaign. The inscription was carefully composed in order to focus on Octavian’s role as savior of the Republic and the row of rostra established Antony and Cleopatra as formidable opponents. The stoa was constructed in the Hellenistic tradition and the frieze demonstrated Octavian’s clementia.
