Title: Imperial Panegyric from Diocletian to Honorius
Description: Examines one of the most important literatures of the late Roman period--speeches of praise addressed to the reigning emperor--and the panegyrical culture of the late Roman world more generally.  Each contributor draws upon evidence taken from multiple authors or from different kinds of panegyric in order to explore both the communal and the particular in this most idiosyncratic of media.  --Book cover.
