Contents: Why did the Julio-Claudian Emperors make so many efforts to endear themselves to the urban populace ?. What was the role of the Plebs urbana in Roman Politics after their legislative and electoral power diminished ?. Were the urban crowds ready to support any Government that was prepared to feed and amuse them, or did they prefer one regime to another or one Princeps to another ?. These and other questions are dealt with in this book, which is mainly a study of the mutual relationship between the Princeps (from Augustus to Nero) and the city Plebs.
