Abstract (EN)

The term Damnatio Memoriae was a method used in the roman empire in 17th century for deletion of names from History. The effect of this practise is very important to the cultural memory of the roman empire. Besides the negative effects we cant deny that the person who was deleted by this method was instead more likely to be remembered. This practice was applied by damaging and discrediting the remainings of the person who had been damnatio memoriae, such as disgracing their monumental buildings, portraits and coins. Implementation of Damnatio Memoriae is by destroying and disgracing or transforming the material memory of the individual. In this study which is based on the Caligula, Nero and Domitianus you will see that the three important names of the roman empire had seen subject of this method. Their portraits and monuments, monumental materials was damaged or destroyed in order to disgrace them. In context this study explains the ways of damaging of such materials. This study also mention with example from the past and today, the damnatio memoriae is a practice without a "definitive time", and focuses on how the roman empire implemented it.
