Overview
This week we are looking at images of rule and power in the civilizations of the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire.
Please talk about 2 different objects (eg. sculptures, mosaics etc.) that demonstrate a narrative of power about 2 different powerful rulers - one from Rome, and one from the Byzantine Empire, and consider the following question: how do we know, as the viewer, that the person in the object is indeed a powerful ruler? What cues are we given?
