Description This journal article in an annual publication of the National Archaeological Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences studies honorific inscriptions set up by senatorial awarders by which they manifested their formal relationship to emperors. It explores how the meaning of the statues for emperors was shaped as part of the imperial communication.
