Alexander the Great and Propaganda
John Walsh, Elizabeth Baynham, John Walsh, Elizabeth Baynham
Ă propos de ce livre
Alexander the Great and Propaganda explores the use of propaganda - whether literature, coinage, or iconography â in the court of Alexander the Great, as well as those of his Successors, demonstrating that it was as integral to Hellenistic courts as it was to Imperial Rome.
This volume brings together ten essays from leading international scholars in Alexander studies. There is currently no equivalent collection which has a specialist focus of themes or issues relating to the use of propaganda in the courts of Alexander or his Successors.
This book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Alexander studies, as well as those studying the use of propaganda across the ancient world, and to the more general reader with an interest in Alexander the Great and his reign.
