 OhioLINK ETD: Gordon, Jody
This thesis charts the ways in which the Antonine dynasty (138-192 A.D.) was commemorated in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis.
By analyzing the epigraphy and iconography on several different types of Antonine monuments from the province and by comparing these monuments with the modes of commemoration in the capital, the varying ways in which the Antonines were commemorated on the provincial level are charted.
