انتحال الشخصية في الإمبراطورية الرومانية : في عهد الأسرتين اليوليو-كلاودية و الفلافية

Abstract EN

Identity theft represents a big problem in our present time, also as it was for Rome in ancient times, especially with the ent of the advanced media.

So it was easy for the impersonators to impersonate famed people in the society, even the emperor sitting on the throne himself.

This study aims to confine impersonation cases through the rule of the Julio-Claudian and Flavian dynasties, which is not a little historical period; which reaches about 82 or 83 years old.

This study is concerned with investigating the causes of the emergence of impersonators, also the reasons for their selection of the public figures they impersonated, and the factors that contributed in strengthening the position of each of them.

Also, the situation of people and Senators in Rome itself from those impersonators, as well the Roman states, which were home to the emergence of them, and their rulers.

And the support they received which was the reason for the spread of their pretensions, which is an important point in the light of the certainty of many at that time that these pretensions are fake and not real.

And the extent of the danger of each of them to Rome and the emperor sitting on the throne, then the way the ruling authority in Rome dealt with the movement of each of these impostors.
