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.

TL;DR: In fact, it has been suggested that this poet makes no lit erary or mythic allusions in her short poems as mentioned in this paper, and it is therefore not surprising that the study of literary allusion, and indeed of other sophisticated devices in her verse, has been lacking.
Abstract: It is therefore not surprising that the study of literary allusion, and indeed of other sophisticated devices in her verse, has been lacking. In fact, it has generally been suggested that this poet makes no lit erary or mythic allusions in her short poems. Hermann Traenkle, in his commentary on the Appendix Tibulliana, claims that Sulpicia shows little sign of the influence or awareness of other poets;2 C. Davies dismisses the elegies as "personal and non-universalised" and "in no way academic."3 And most recently J. R. Bradley has described Sulpicia's elegies as "lacking any display of erudition."4 The dis missal of Sulpicia as an author goes even further than this, and N. J. Lowe speaks of it feelingly:
