Mark D. Fullerton blends the art of the Roman period with its
history of political intrigue, military and religious ideologies,
and intercultural interaction. The book not only explores the art
of Rome itself but also that of the Roman provinces, including
Syria, Egypt, Algeria, Greece and the British Isles, showing how
Roman art drew from and influenced the wider ancient world. Each of
the book's four parts opens with a timeline and historical
overview, allowing the reader to better understand how the art
relates to the political and social lives of the people of ancient
Rome. Individual chapters begin with a map of Rome, illustrating
how the city changed over centuries of rebuilding and reimagining.
With an introduction, 'What Is Roman about Roman Art?', and
'Materials and Techniques' features on the artistic innovations
introduced by the Romans, such as concrete, linear and atmospheric
perspective, and mosaic, the book explores how Roman influences
still affect the art and architectural world today.
