Overview
In this beautifully illustrated book-the first in almost a century devoted solely to Roman sculpture-Diana E. E. Kleiner discusses all the major public and private monuments in Rome, as well as many less well-known monuments in the capital and elsewhere in the empire. Throughout, Kleiner treats Roman sculpture in its cultural, political, and social contexts and, wherever possible, as an element of the architectural complex in which it was set.Synopsis
