Statues are among the most familiar remnants of classical art. Yet
their prominence in ancient society is often ignored. In the Roman
world statues were ubiquitous. Whether they were displayed as
public honours or memorials, collected as works of art, dedicated
to deities, venerated as gods, or violated as symbols of a defeated
political regime, they were recognized individually and
collectively as objects of enormous significance.
By analysing ancient texts and images, Statues in Roman Society
unravels the web of associations which surrounded Roman statues.
Addressing all categories of statuary together for the first time,
it illuminates them in ancient terms, explaining expectations of
what statues were or ought to be and describing the Romans' uneasy
relationship with 'the other population' in their midst.
