| Title: "Vespasian, Helvidius Priscus and the Restoration of the Capitol" Pages: 208-222 Type: Generic Year: 1996 Abstract: "The prominence of the magistrate Helvidius Priscus in the religious ceremony marking the restoration of the Capitol in Rome in A.D. 70 is remarkable. When Vespasian returned to Rome later that year, he supported the restoration as a way of distancing himself from the Julio-Claudian dynasty and of suggesting that his rule was legitimated by the supreme god of the Roman state. With Vespasian can be seen the beginnings of the ""Jovian theology"" of imperial power prominent from Domitian and above all Trajan. - D.J.H." Keywords: Greek and Roman historiography |
