Roman Sculpture in Context
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. This volume is dedicated to privileging content and context over traditions of style and aesthetics. Questions of context are complex, and any theoretical and methodological reframing of Roman sculpture demands academic transparency.
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 Through case studies, the chapters illustrate multivariate ways to contextualize ancient objects.
