Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze and characterize the forms and modalities of a series of operations on both physical and symbolic space presented in Seneca’s Apocolocyntosis. These operations involve both the establishment of specific places in Rome and the paths, passages and mediations that these presuppose for a subject moving along. Our hypothesis is that this text uses the oversaturation of these operations to condense in the reader’s perception the ex-centricity of the emperor with respect to the urbs as a cultural, political, geographical and symbolic center.
