This volume tackles a pressing issue in Roman art history: that
many sculptures conventionally used in our scholarship and teaching
lack adequate information about their find locations. Questions of
context are complex, and any theoretical and methodological
reframing of Roman sculpture demands academic transparency. This
volume is dedicated to privileging content and context over
traditions of style and aesthetics. Through case studies, the
chapters illustrate multivariate ways to contextualize ancient
objects. The authors encourage Roman art historians to look beyond
conventional interpretations; to reclaim from the study of Greek
sculpture the Roman originals that are too often relegated to
discussions of "copies" and "models"; to consider the multiple,
dynamic, and shifting contexts that one sculpture could experience
over the centuries of its display; and to recognize that
post-antique receptions can also offer insight into interpretations
of ancient viewers. The collected topics were originally presented
in three conference sessions: "Grounding Roman Sculpture"
(Archaeological Institute of America, 2019); "Ancient Sculpture in
Context" (College Art Association, 2017); and "Ancient Sculpture in
Context II: Reception" (College Art Association, 2019).
