Art and architecture are mirrors of a society. They reflect the state of its values, especially in times of crisis or transition.

The Power of Images in the Age of Augustus illustrates how the establishment of monarchy under Augustus Caesar led to the creation of a new system of visual imagery that reflects the consciousness of this transitional age.
