2024_OCR: A Level Classical Civilisation H408/22 Imperial Image
(Merged Question Paper & Marking Scheme)

Key Areas to Revise:

1. The Concept of the Imperial Image
o Definition and Purpose: Understand the concept of the imperial image, which is the
portrayal of the emperor and the imperial family as powerful, divine, or semi-divine
figures to legitimize their rule. Propaganda: Study the role of visual and literary
representations (such as coins, statues, and monuments) in creating and reinforcing the
emperor’s public image.
2. Augustus and the Creation of the Imperial Image
o Augustus’ Political Propaganda: Review Augustus’ use of art, architecture, and literature
to promote his image as the ‘restorer’ of peace and the founder of the Roman Empire. Key
examples include the Res Gestae, Ara Pacis, and the Augustus of Prima Porta.
3. The Use of Coins and Monuments
o Coins: Analyze the use of coins as a tool for spreading the emperor’s image and political
messages throughout the empire. Examine how specific motifs (e.g., military victories,
divine favor, and succession) were used to enhance the emperor’s status.
4. The Julio-Claudian Dynasty
o Emperors of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty: Study how the emperors of this dynasty
(Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero) used the imperial image to assert their authority.
Focus on how their portraits, actions, and public representations were designed to
consolidate power.
5. The Flavian Dynasty
o Vespasian and Titus: Understand how the Flavians used their imperial image to
legitimize their rule after the chaotic Year of the Four Emperors. Vespasian used
propaganda to present himself as a stabilizing force, while Titus used the image of military
success, especially after the conquest of Jerusalem.
6. The Severan Dynasty
o Septimius Severus and His Successors: Study the Severan emperors, particularly
Septimius Severus, and how they used the imperial image to solidify their military power
and gain legitimacy after the civil wars. Pay attention to their use of coinage and military
symbolism to reinforce their authority.
7. The Use of Imperial Portraiture
o Portraiture and its Significance: Understand how imperial portraits (busts, statues) were
used to communicate the emperor’s virtues, qualities, and divine association. Study how
the style of the portrait changed over time, from idealized depictions of Augustus to more
realistic portrayals of later emperors.
8. The Role of Empresses and Women in the Imperial Image
o Empresses as Symbols: Study how women in the imperial family, such as Livia, Julia
Domna, and Agrippina the Younger, were used to project the imperial image. These
