A New Approach to Teaching Roman Art History
This article describes an approach to teaching ancient Roman art using historical empathy and current world events to foster students’ engagement with, and learning about, both ancient Roman art and, more broadly, the power of art.

The suggestions may be helpful for secondary or college-level teachers of…
Disabilities in Roman Antiquity
This is the first volume ever to systematically study the subject of disabilities in the Roman world. The contributors examine the topic a capite ad calcem, from head to toe.

The authors fully engage with literary, papyrological, and …

The ‘monster of Ravenna’ is the centrepiece of the first chapter which summarises the sources and definitions of monstrosity and lays out the concept of the ‘emblematic monster’ which, Bates argues, embodies hidden meanings of a sinful world. Continuing the theme of monstrosity as a moralising emblem in the next chapter, the boo…
