TL;DR: Baron as discussed by the authors revised the longer notes and added new ones, while leaving the original numbering intact, so the interested scholar may still refer to volume two of the first edition, with an epilogue.
Abstract: REVISED, ONE-VOLUME EDITION, WITH AN EPILOGUE By HANS BARON. In this revised one-volume edition, the author has condensed the longer notes and added new ones, while leaving the original numbering intact, so the interested scholar may still refer to volume two of the first edition. New findings from archival and manuscript sources strengthen many points. The chapters on the political background of the changes in culture and thought as well as those dealing with \"The Dangers of Humanist Classicism,\" and \"Humanism and Classicism\" are enlarged and an epilogue has been added. 600 Pages, $10.00 (Paperback) $2.95T

TL;DR: The condemnation of memory inexorably altered the visual landscape of imperial Rome as mentioned in this paper, and representation of bad emperors such as Caligula, Nero, Domitian, Commodus, or Elagabalus were routinely reconfigured into likenesses of victorious successors or revered predecessors.
Abstract: The condemnation of memory inexorably altered the visual landscape of imperial Rome. Representations of 'bad' emperors, such as Caligula, Nero, Domitian, Commodus, or Elagabalus were routinely reconfigured into likenesses of victorious successors or revered predecessors. Alternatively, portraits could be physically attacked and mutilated or even executed in effigy. From the late first century B.C. until the fourth century A.D., the recycling and destruction of images of emperors, empresses, and other members of the imperial family occurred on a vast scale and often marked periods of violent political transition. This volume catalogues and interprets the sculptural, glyptic, numismatic and epigraphic evidence for damnatio memoriae and ultimately reveals its praxis to be at the core of Roman cultural identity.
