Precarious Divinity: The Roman Emperor's Self-Definition as God in Relation to Competing Strategies of Legitimising Herrschaft (20)

该分项目将通过系统地分析其所有冲突和矛盾，探讨罗马皇帝使其Herrschaft合法化的核心实践之一，即君主的神性。工作的重点将是多层次的紧张关系，从一开始就对神一样的皇帝的概念至关重要，并根据不同的背景在公元前两个世纪发生变化。

The sub-project will approach one of the central practices for the Roman Emperor to legitimate his Herrschaft, namely the divinity of the princeps, by systematically analysing all its conflicts and contradictions. The focus of work will be on the multilayered tensions, which from the beginning were crucial to the concept of the God-like emperor and changed during the first two centuries AD according to different contexts.
