Opis

Offering a reconstruction and interpretation of banishment in the final era of a unified Roman Empire, Daniel Washburn argues that exile was both a penalty and a symbol. As a marker of affliction or failure it articulated and cemented the power asymmetry between the punisher and the punished.
