Rhetoric was fundamental to education and to cultural aspiration in
the Greek and Roman worlds. It was one of the key aspects of
antiquity that slipped under the line between the ancient world and
Christianity erected by the early Church in late antiquity. Ancient
rhetorical theory is obsessed with examples and discussions drawn
from visual material. This book mines this rich seam of theoretical
analysis from within Roman culture to present an internalist model
for some aspects of how the Romans understood, made and appreciated
their art. The understanding of public monuments like the Arch of
Titus or Trajan's Column or of imperial statuary, domestic wall
painting, funerary altars and sarcophagi, as well as of intimate
items like children's dolls, is greatly enriched by being placed in
relevant rhetorical contexts created by the Roman world.
