Unlike much previous work on this topic, \u003ci\u003eImperial Panegyric\u003c\/i\u003e takes a consciously comparative approach, especially between eastern and western, Greek and Latin texts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach contributor draws upon evidence taken from multiple authors or from different kinds of panegyric in order to explore both the communal and the particular in this most idiosyncratic of media. The volume investigates to what extent there was a unified concept of imperial panegyric, and how local circumstances shaped individual speeches. It also considers the ways in which traditional forms of praise-giving respond to fourth-century phenomena such as the expansion of Christianity, collegial rulership, and the decline of Rome as the political centre of the empire. Its contributors include a roster of some of the most important names in the field of panegyric studies, both established researchers and the rising stars of the new generation.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46446088683671,"sku":"9781800856363","price":6926.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781800856363.webp?v=1769136205","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/imperial-panegyric-from-diocletian-to-honorius-9781800856363","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
