How did the Greeks translate tales into images? Why do artistic
depictions of ancient myths sometimes "contradict" the textual
versions that we think of as canonical? What caused the Romans to
be anxious about decorated ceilings? Can numismatic images solve
problems in Augustan politics or explain the provenance of the
Warren Cup? How are the curators of ancient artifacts to supply the
high-quality digital images that scholars need in order to answer
these questions? And how are text-based scholars to make productive
use of them? Images have their own semantic language, and their
survival, usually divorced from their original context, makes it
hard to interpret them with nuance and sophistication. Images for
Classicists starts from the premise that the visual and textual
records from antiquity are indispensable complements to one another
and demonstrates some of the ways in which text and image, taken
together, can complicate and enrich our understanding of ancient
culture. While attempting to dissolve the distinctions between
text- and artifact-based scholars, it also tries to bridge the gap
between academy and museum by exploring the challenges that the
digital revolution poses to curators and sketching some of the ways
in which image-based collections may be deployed in the future.
