Emperor Fabius Analysis
INT. EMPEROR'S PALACE - NIGHT

Two slaves stand on both sides of the emperor fanning him. Emperor Fabius holds a cup of wine and listens to an ARTIST, 40s, wears a brown hooded gown, standing next to a stone sculpture.

Artist

As you can see your majesty, this would be marvelous in your castle in Egypt.

Emperor Fabius stands from his chair, walks closer to the sculpture, examines the complexion.

EMPEROR FABIUS

I don't see any resemblance! The nose looks much bigger.

(sarcastically)

Do you think my nose is big?

Artist

(scared)

Apologies your majesty. I will fix that right away.

EMPEROR FABIUS

Do that before I carve your nose with my sword.

General Lucius enters and stands in silence. Emperor Fabius dismisses everyone in the room.

Lucius

She is his niece.

SICILIANO

You need to be strong now. Get your daughter out. He killed her because of you and he will kill your daughter soon if you don't get her out.

ext. Street in Rome - day

Emperor Fabius sits in a Roman litter covered in red curtains from all sides while four strong GUARDS, 30s, wearing body and head armor, hold it up and walk on a street.

After few steps they stop, put the Roman litter gently on the ground. Emperor Fabius waits for someone to open the curtain. He hears no sound, he opens the curtain to see no one on the street.

He gets out and stands to look in both directions. Then he walks ahead for few steps and he hears a loud sound coming from the other street. He turns to the other street to see an angry crowd swarmingand racing towards him.

Emperor Fabius panics and runs back shouting.

EMPEROR FABIUS

Guards ... Guards.

He runs through the street and passes the Roman litter where still no guards there. He reaches a corner and turns to see Isabella covered in dirt and she pierces a knife in his stomach.

ISABELLA

That's what you deserve.

Emperor Fabius wakes up panting and sweating on his bed, and he hears sounds of rain and thunder from

    The Res Gestae or The Deeds of the Divine Augustus is an account of the life of the first Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus. The biography, which is preserved on two bronze pillars in the city of Rome, was commissioned by the emperor on the seventy-third year of his reign . The autobiography stands as the ‘official’ record of Augustus’s legacy. The format is fragmented, as each deed is recorded separately, while the structure is linear as the events chronicled are arranged in chronological order. I consider that the Res Gestae to be a fairly unique autobiography; it is completely partisan, making no attempt whatsoever to analyze events fairly. It omits negative events in Augustus’s life, and documents only the public life of the emperor. Because of these features I contend that the Res Gestae is a propaganda piece, rather than an autobiography.…

    Catullus One

    Catullus was a Roman poet in the 1st century BCE. His poems were known for being differently written from what his contemporaries were writing at the time. While others were writing more “manly” poetry, about their sexual conquests, Catullus was less racy in his writings. In his “Poem 1”, Catullus is dedicating his new poetry to a man named Cornelius. While not a love poem like he usually wrote, “Poem 1” shows several aspects of Roman culture and gives us a glimpse of how Romans tried to make a lasting impression on the world of the future.…

    In ancient Egypt, hierarchy was glorified to signify the contribution and power they had. In the statue “Menkaure and Queen Khamerernebty,” the artist portrays these traits through an authoritative vision of the figure. He illustrates this image from the simplistic posture of the individual rather then elaborating on jewelry or clothes. The artist creates these two individual of royalty under one strong power, were the male figure represent authority and is supported by the naturalistic female queen, which is slightly less powering.…

    Augustus the General

    The “Portrait of Augustus as General from Primaporta” sculpture is a very interesting piece of art. The sculpture got its name from the town where it was found (Kinard, 2008). Augustus appears to be pointing in a general direction as if he is giving a speech. Augustus appears to be very young and looks almost perfect. He has a very content yet stern look upon his face like he is trying to make a point about something. The uniform that Augustus is wearing has intricate and detailed artwork on it. The top half of the uniform has a scene on it and the bottom half looks almost like a skirt. There is a sheet that is wrapped around his hips and hangs over his left hand. He is holding a staff in his right hand and it is very simple and dark in color. He has one leg slightly bent as if he is going to take a step. At the other leg there is a baby that is reaching up to Augustus. The baby appears to be on a dolphin that is coming up out if the base of the statue.…

    In this essay I will argue that the Principate is a history of military dictatorships insofar as certain emperors seize power via some form of military coup. I shall cover emperors via the themes of: bread and circuses, reliance on the army and Praetorian Guard as depicted on imperial coinage and the times when the accession of an emperor is instigated by either defeat in battle or the assassination of one’s predecessor.…

    Slavery in Roman Republic

    During the Roman Republic, Ancient Rome was at its very beginnings and a civilization was just being created. Like any other civilization there were different levels of status between classes and several positions of power in which people could obtain. Subsequently, just as there were people of power and wealth, there were also people of little to no power and poverty. The Ancient Romans utilized the institution of slavery to help promote their civilization and became a major factor in the economy of the Roman Republic. In a way slaves helped shape Rome into what it is today. Without slavery in Ancient Rome, history could have been written differently when considering Rome as a powerful city and civilization.…

    There are many artworks between the cultures of Ancient Near East through the Medieval Era that demonstrate ways political leaders constructed powerful identities, including the Emperor Justinian and His Attendants, The Maquamat of Al-Hariri, and the Stele of Naram-Sin. The Emperor Justinian and His Attendants artwork is from San Vitale, Ravenna, 547 BCE and is a perfect example to show how political leaders has powerful identities. This mosaic shows power through the style and context of the art piece. The way the Emperor is dressed in a bolder color than the Attendants shows how he has more power than the others. The halo around the Emperor’s head also shows power because of the context behind halos. Another, thing shown in this mosaic that shows the Attendants having less power is the shield they are…

    Two portraits, that of a Man and of Emperor Caligula, can be found in the same gallery in Metropolitan Museum of Art, which suggests that both of the busts were created in the same period of time. This, in turn, suggests that they must be stylistically similar, though not exactly the same. At the same time, the portrait bust of a Man was created by either Antonine or Severan at the dusk of the second century, almost two hundred years later that the bust of Caligula. It is apparent to conclude that there must be some difference in the way the creators conveyed the images of the two persons due to development of skills and styles in time.…

    In book VI of Polybius’ Histories (53-54), it covers a funeral procession as a form to educate and teach Roman youths. Various values and qualities range throughout this extract, and these values reflect the lives of the ‘Roman Society’, such values would include; Passion, Nobility, Immortality, Excellence, etc. These values of the funeral procession are produced in the text, as a way to ‘inspire’ the youth of Rome. However certain historians are suspicious when it comes to Polybius’ point of view on Roman Society. Historians believe this because of many reasons, which in turn include; being biased in the favour of the Romans, and it is noteworthy to say that Polybius isn’t viewed as a total impartial witness by some historians. Also, it is known by a number of historians that in Book VI of the Histories, Polybius has a number of targeted audiences that included the Greeks as well as Roman youths.…

    Marcus Aurelius

    • 5 Pages

    Aurelius is one of the most remembered of the Roman emperors because of his Meditations (c. 169–c. 180), a classic work of Stoic philosophy consisting of a collection of his private notes gathered posthumously under one title. As the last of the five “good emperors,” as head of the Roman Empire from 161 to 180, and because he was revered for centuries after as the perfect emperor, Aurelius continues to be of great interest to historians. His short, literate essays reveal much about a time period not well represented and also much regarding the thought processes of the State. His work informed by Stoicism and other philosophies that attracted Aurelius. The Meditations also…
