The character of Roman art history has changed in recent years.
More than ever before, it is concerned with the role of art in
ancient society, including the functions that it served and the
values and assumptions that it reflects. At the same time, images
have become centrally important to the study of ancient history in
general. This book offers a new, critical introduction to Roman art
against the background of these developments. Focusing on selected
examples and themes, it sets the images in context, explains how
they have been interpreted, and explodes some of the modern myths
that surround them. It also explores some of the problems and
contradictions that we face when we try to deal with ancient art in
this manner. From wall-paintings to statues, from coins to the
gravestones, this is a lucid and often provocative reappraisal of
the world of Roman images.
