In ancient Rome, music permeated every corner of the vast city. Wherever one ventured, the melodious tunes of singing, piping, drumming, and strumming echoed endlessly. This captivating book delves into the intricate relationship between music and Roman politics and society, spanning from the Roman conquest of Greece in the second century BCE to the reign of Nero in 68 CE. Through a comprehensive examination of a diverse array of literary texts, inscriptions, and material artifacts, Harry Morgan unveils the complex dynamics between elite and popular attitudes towards music. He reveals how music was skillfully wielded as a tool by political leaders and emperors to shape and influence public opinion. Far from being a mere peripheral aspect of daily life, music played a central role in shaping Roman political culture and social interactions, igniting profound debates about class, gender, and ethnicity. This insightful book will captivate students and scholars of ancient music and Roman history, offering a fresh perspective on the profound influence of music in the ancient world.
