The Lucretii in Pompeii:A Case Study of Local Aristocracy in the Early Roman Empire

地方贵族阶层是早期罗马帝国地方统治中的重要组成,在城市治理和发展中起着重要作用,也影响着罗马和地方的关系。卢克莱提家族是地方贵族的一则典型范例,是公元1世纪庞贝城权势最大的地方贵族家族之一,接连数代人担任庞贝城市官员并加入地方元老院。在城市公共领域,卢克莱提家族通过修建雕像、公共捐助等方式进行政治宣传和展示,提高社会声望,赢得民众支持。同时,他们加强与罗马皇帝的联系,担任与皇帝相关的政治、宗教职位,进一步巩固家族地位。卢克莱提家族是罗马帝国初期地方贵族阶层的缩影,充分体现了这一时期地方贵族在帝国初期政治演变中的地位和作用。
