Spanning centuries and the vastness of the Roman Empire, The Last
Statues of Antiquity is the first comprehensive survey of Roman
honorific statues in the public realm in Late Antiquity. Drawn from
a major research project and corresponding online database that
collates all the available evidence for the 'statue habit' across
the Empire from the late third century AD onwards, the volume
examines where, how, and why statues were used, and why these
important features of urban life began to decline in number before
eventually disappearing around AD 600. Adopting a detailed
comparative approach, the collection explores variation between
different regions-including North Africa, Asia Minor, and the Near
East-as well as individual cities, such as Aphrodisias, Athens,
Constantinople, and Rome. A number of thematic chapters also
consider the different kinds of honorand, from provincial governors
and senators, to women and cultural heroes. Richly illustrated, the
volume is the definitive resource for studying the phenomenon of
late-antique statues. The collection also incorporates extensive
references to the project's database, which is freely accessible
online.
