Abstract
Filius Minervae: A Study of Domitian's Relationship with
Minerva
Through an analysis of the imperial propaganda of Rome's eighth
emperor, Domitian, the author
argues that Domitian sought to create a public relationship with
his patron goddess, Minerva,
which would both underscore and validate his policies and
legitimacy. The article focuses on
coin issues, architecture, cameos, statuary, public events, and
literature dealing with Minerva
under Domitian's rule. Furthermore, the author shows that artistic
objects utilizing a Minerva
with Domitian's specific portrait features signal a new
interpretation of the goddess' cult which
was propagated during the Domitianic period.
