The discussion of Roman imagery and iconography on such a broad level, the interdisciplinary attempt to place Roman imagery and iconography into its larger social context and the wide variety of media taken into consideration, including the minor arts, makes this a handbook that any scholar and student of Roman art should have on their shelves. Its extensive coverage of Roman imagery across chronological, geographic and social contexts makes it an essential resource for any scholar of antiquity. * Journal of Roman Studies * We may congratulate the editors and the authors--both junior and senior researchers--with this fine book and hope that it will get its appreciation in the coming decades. * Eric M. Moormann, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Fine book * Eric M. Moormann, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * All of us who study any aspect of classical antiquity from philology to archaeology and beyond will find something of value in this collection. Its essays will stimulate readers to refresh their visual sensibilities and disassemble old frameworks. And with old assumptions cast aside, our ideas about Roman imagery and iconography will most certainly be altered for the better. * Michele Valerie Ronnick, Classical Journal-Online *
