Traversing more than seven hundred years of Roman history, this book explores how everyday Romans swapped gossip, spread rumours, told jokes, and chanted protests about their emperors – activity that amounted to much more than idle chatter. Caillan Davenport uses ancient evidence, including letters, graffiti, and songs, to reveal how Romans engaged in politics outside the senate house or imperial council. He argues that the idea of the Roman emperor was shaped not only by the political powers granted to him but also by the debate taking place in the streets, churches, taverns, and markets. Davenport reveals how Romans spoke about ‘the emperor’ as a figure of stability, as an agent of justice and retribution, or as a fallible human.
