This study takes an entirely new look at the emperor Antoninus Pius and examines his activities in the court, senate, and the plebs urbana, the dynastic staging of the Domus Augusta, and Antoninus' role as military commander. It develops a contextualized picture of his major fields of activity, reconstructing the ways that Pius shaped his rule, and thereby serves as a case study for research on the structure of the principate.
