"This book reconsiders a wide array of images of Byzantine empresses on media as diverse as bronze coins and gold mosaic from the fifth through seventh centuries A.D. The representations have often been viewed in terms of individual personas, but strong typological currents frame their medieval context. As the target of political pornography, Empress Theodora has consumed the bulk of past interest, but even her representations fit these patterns.
Methodological tools from fields as disparate as numismatics, cultural and gender studies also help clarify the broader significance of female imperial representation and patronage at this time."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details
First Sentence
"The first centuries of the Roman Empire witnessed important developments in the role and representation of the empress, but the powerful empresses of the Houses of Constantine and Theodosios during the fourth and fifth centuries provide the precedents most relevant to early Byzantine women's patronage and other public displays of authority."
