The article examines the relationship between imperial discourse and public space, addressing the question of whether the fora and agoras of provincial cities constituted the primary venues for the dissemination of imperial documents. An analysis of the corpus of known letters and edicts from Augustus to the Severan dynasty shows that public squares were selected as loca celeberrima for imperial communication only in a limited number of cases.

Abstract
The article examines the relationship between imperial discourse and public space, addressing the question of whether the fora and agoras of provincial cities constituted the primary venues for the dissemination of imperial documents. An analysis of the corpus of known letters and edicts from Augustus to the Severan dynasty shows that public squares were selected as loca celeberrima for imperial communication only in a limited number of cases.
