Book Synopsis Nemesis, the Roman State and the Games by : Michael B. Hornum
Book excerpt: This re-evaluation of the place of Nemesis in the Roman World shows that the goddess was associated less with the lower classes than with the emperor and state. It also reveals her as particularly connected with the "munus" and "venatio" as the result of a function peculiar to these games.
