Roman Sculpture from London and the South-East. Corpus Signorum Imperii Romani, Great Britain, Volume 1, Fascicule 10, by Penny Coombe, Francis Grew, Kevin Hayward, and Martin Henig
Ancient Mythological Images and their Interpretation
Proposes a new framework for the study of (ancient) visual culture based on engagement with Greek and Roman mythological imagery, appealing to those seeking to better their understanding of Greek and Roman cultural history; relates historiography and method development in Classical archaeology and ancient art history to the art history of more modern periods, and will therefore be of interest to readers interested in the Classical world and those…

Art and Rhetoric in Roman Culture
Rhetoric was fundamental to education and to cultural aspiration in the Greek and Roman worlds. It was one of the key aspects of antiquity that slipped under the line between the ancient world and Christianity erected by the early Church in late antiquity. Ancient rhetorical theory is obsessed with examples and discussions drawn from visual material. This book mines this rich seam of theoretical analysis from within Roman culture to present an in…
Neronian Wall‐Painting. A Matter of Perspective
The abundance of evidence marks Neronian wall-painting particularly enticing and worthwhile for study, but it also constitutes a crucial heuristic problem: that is, how to handle the relationship between the genre and Nero's persona. It is not enough to ask whether Neronian wall-painting has perspective: we must also ask what perspective Neronian wall-painting has. The author uses "perspective" here as a principle to organize objects in space, an…
Split-screen visions
Epic Visions
This wide-ranging, interdisciplinary collection explores different ways of visualising Greek and Roman epic from Homer to Statius, in both ancient and modern culture. The book presents new perspectives on Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Lucan, Valerius Flaccus and Statius, and covers the re-working of epic matter in tragedy, opera, film, late antique speeches of praise, story-boarding, sculpture and wall-painting. The chapters use a variety of methods to ad…

On the Problem of Describing and Interpreting Works of the Visual Arts
Image in Distress? The death of Meleager on Roman sarcophagi
The recent interest in Roman mythological sarcophagi has been fuelled by their potential to throw light on the ideas and ideals that governed Roman social life and behaviour.In particular, sarcophagi offer genuine insight into Roman approaches to Greek myths as a device for producing meanings related to the context of death, to rituals at the tomb, and to strategies of commemoration in general. 1 This perspective has been opened by moving away fr…
Translators' Introduction
The Ear of the Beholder
The debate on spectator figures in Roman painting has traditionally concentrated on their function as virtually meaning‐free space‐fillers, or on their potential to make external viewers aware of the fact that they are looking at a picture. This article takes a different approach and uses the spectator figures of two frescoes from a house within the Scavo del Principe di Montenegro in Pompeii as a means of exploring the narrative strategies of Po…
