The book traces the use of a variety of public ceremonies, including assemblies of the people, triumphs, funerals, and games, as a means for politicians in this period of instability and transition to shape their public images and consolidate their power and prestige. Ultimately, Sumi shows that the will of the people, whether they were the electorate assembled at the comitia, the citizen body at the contio, the spectators at the theater, the crowd at the triumph, or mourners at a funeral, strongly influenced the decisions and actions of Roman aristocrats. 606 $aPolitical customs and rites$zRome 606 $aRites and ceremonies$zRome 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$y265-30 B.C 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$y30 B.C.-68 A.D 615 0$aPolitical customs and rites 615 0$aRites and ceremonies 676 $a937/.04 700 $aSumi$b Geoffrey S.$f1963-$0605961 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962869603321 996 $aCeremony and power$91121069 997 $aUNINA
