Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Short note lending support to the argument proposed by C J Simpson in Britannia 27 (1996), pages 386--7, that the statue of Victory at Colchester referred to by Tacitus in the Annales was intended to serve as a literary topos, rather than as a point of architectonic or historical fact. It will be shown that an analogous passage exists, recorded by Cassius Dio in relation to the Varian Disaster, in which a comparable statue of Victory is noted for its unpropitious movement prior to Roman catastrophe. It is concluded that the Colchester Victory cannot be used as evidence for an altar cult at the colony on the model of Lyon. | ||
