Download date: 04. Jun. 2023 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctorate in Clinical Psychology This thesis would not have been possible without an enormous amount of love, help and support from many people, so it is fitting that I begin by thanking them. First of all I would like to express my gratitude to my research supervisors: Professor Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xx Xxxxxxx Xxxx. Both have offered unwavering support and encouragement from induction through to write up of my clinical thesis. The encouragement to pursue my own ideas combined with a collaborative supervision style has helped shaped me both as a researcher and a person.

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Classics, King’s College, London. 31 January 2013 This thesis is concerned with freedom of speech in early imperial Rome. The creation of the principate meant that the emperor held absolute power based on military force, but there is no comprehensive survey of how this affected freedom of speech. This study therefore examines relevant primary sources, approaching the question through three areas – controls imposed by the emperor through law and force majeure, self-censorship and peer pressure among the elite, and popular political protest. Most of the evidence presented is literary, reflecting the interests and concerns of the elite authors and their intended audience, though where relevant reference is made to inscriptions, graffiti and dipinti. The thesis considers the hierarchical, status-conscious nature of Roman society, arguing that concern for social standing affects all communication. Although there are incidents of control imposed by the emperor or his representatives, peer-to-peer pressure has a greater impact upon freedom of speech. Communication is affected by the status of the speaker, the audience and the occasion. The distinctions between “public” and “private” speech differed significantly from modern conceptions. This means that protocols arose for dealing with potentially offensive subjects – insult, criticism and obscenity – so that offence was minimised and social relations could continue harmoniously. This argument is developed by an exploration of political communication between senate and emperor, especially the importance of the differing relationships between the emperor and individual senators. The study concludes by exploring informal and popular protest at Rome, through gossip, demonstrations at ludi and xxxxxx, and through graffiti and pamphleteering. Even here, concerns for status and personal relationships with the emperor explain the forms protests take. This study aim...

This thesis is dedicated to my parents for their love and endless support. Completing my PhD degree was probably the most challenging part of my life. The best and worst moments of my doctoral journey have been shared with many people. It has been a great privilege to spend several years in the Centre for Telecommunications Research (CTR) at King’s College London, and its members will always remain dear to me. At the end of my thesis I would like to thank all those people who made this thesis possible and an unforgettable experience for me. The highest gratitude goes to my supervisor, Xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Nakhai, for his support, patience, and encouragement throughout my PhD studies. It is not often that one finds a supervisor that always finds the time for listening to the little problems and roadblocks that unavoidably crop up in the course of performing research. His technical and editorial advice was essential to the completion of this dissertation and has taught me innumer- able lessons and insights on the workings of academic research in general. I could not have imagined having a better advisor and mentor for my PhD study. I am grateful to to my beloved parents; Xx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx-Esfahani and Xxx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx. Their love provided my inspiration and was my driving force. I owe them everything and wish I could show them just how much I love and appreciate them.

I would like to thank my former colleague, Xx Xxxx Xxx Xx for his valuable assistance and support through out my PhD.
