On the one hand, the adventus\u0000 visibly highlighted the power of those arriving. On the other hand, the\u0000 city presented a version of itself in the form of the welcoming committee.\u0000 How, for whom, and by whom these arrivals were staged reveals the\u0000 changing ways that Rome was imagined. Though the ceremony remained\u0000 deeply traditional for a very long time – emperors greeted by the senate\u0000 and Roman people – over centuries, the ritual was slowly adapted to suit\u0000 a Christianizing city. Bishops not only joined the welcoming committee,\u0000 but they themselves were welcomed back into Rome in grand style.","PeriodicalId":128181,"journal":{"name":"Urban Developments in Late Antique and Medieval Rome","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127342428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its visual narratives depicting\u0000 military campaigns in Dacia corresponded to Claudian’s descriptions of\u0000 battles, Merobaudes’s narratives of war, and Sidonius’s tales of military\u0000 prowess. The chapter also analyzes the performance venues in Trajan’s\u0000 Forum, built during the reign of Hadrian, where poets performed before\u0000 elite audiences.

This amplifies our view of how medieval images worked, not\u0000 only in Rome, but also more broadly.
