State Propaganda and Art: Monuments from the Serbian Section of the Limes Region
Abstract
The best representatives of Roman Empire state propaganda are the structures built
by the emperors, their portraits, coins issued in their names and works of applied
art. In different historical periods, these monuments carried a different political message.
The monuments of art from the Serbian section of the Limes and its hinterland
clearly show that this region was of exceptional importance, not only for the defence
of the Empire but also for the consolidation of the official imperial propaganda. !e
large number of porphyry sculptures found in the territory of present day Serbia reveals.
The importance of that territory from a strategic-propagandistic point of view.
Despite being situated within palatial complexes, these sculptures were erected at
exceptionally important strategic locations where the presence of the army and activities
connected with its actions were clearly confirmed.
