According to an urban legend that circulated in&nbsp;Imperial Rome, the emperor Augustus saved one of Pollio’s slaves from this grisly fate and&nbsp;punished Pollio for his brutality. In this talk, Dr. Herz considers what the Pollio story can tell us&nbsp;about how emperors worked. It reveals the complex mechanics of Augustan messaging, and&nbsp;offers a glimpse into the freighted moral questions raised by imperial power. What does it mean&nbsp;to go to the emperor for justice? What can he offer that other decisionmakers can’t? And what&nbsp;could justice even mean in the autocracy of the enslaving household, on one hand, or of the&nbsp;Principate on the other? Come for the man-eating fish, stay for the jurisdictional conflict.</p><p>This lecture is free and will be given in person (Eaton Humanities 250) and simultaneously hosted on Zoom.<br> This lecture is sponsored by Mary E.V.
