Abstract

This research focuses on the ideology behind the death rites of a Roman emperor. Here I analyze the inventive rhetorical features concerning the subject as visual culture, loci, descriptive formulas and cultural codes. It refers in particular to literature that concerns the death of the Roman emperor, which is analyzed from the point of view of rhetoric and iconography. So I find a fiction or a dubious “reality”, through introducing a witness who confirms the veracity of deification.
