Imagery and iconography served specific functions in public,
private, and ritual spheres in the Roman world. State-sanctioned
imagery communicated politically charged ideas through an
often-complex pictorial language, composed of emblems and
attributes that signaled aspects of policy. In the private sphere,
imagery communicated ethnic, social, and religious identities
through specific signs, symbols, and forms, and through the
emulation of state-sanctioned art. This volume focuses primarily on
visual imagery in the Roman world, examined by context and period,
and the evolving scholarly traditions of iconographic analysis and
visual semiotics that have framed the modern study of these images.
Among other subjects, essays touch on iconography and style in
republican and early imperial art, public sculpture and social
practice in the Roman Empire, coin iconography, funerary imagery,
imagery in ritual use, and images and interpretation of Africans in
Roman art. The Oxford Handbook of Roman Imagery and Iconography is
an important reference work for both the communicative value of
images in the Roman world and the tradition of iconographical
analysis.
