DESCRIPTION:This Archaeological Institute of America lecture\, titled "Augustus' War against Antony and Cleopatra as Seen through the Coins\," is presented by Dr. Roberta Stewart of Dartmouth ÖйúÌå²ÊÍø.Augustan propaganda conjured up Cleopatra as a threatening female outsider. This lecture brings the evidence of the coinage into the discussion of Cleopatra's pearls\, part of her self-representation as a powerful monarch. Her images were interpreted not only as markers of a woman who lavished attention on a luxurious lifestyle but one of threatening female sexuality. Tracking the iconography of Cleopatra and of defeated Egypt allows us to evaluate their Roman and Mediterranean associations in a medium of mass communication and so to see more clearly the Augustan claims about women and empire.This event is sponsored by the Classics department.
