Description
War played a profound role in Roman life, its impact felt throughout the culture. This book explores how Romans represented war through visual imagery and literary accounts, spanning over 500 years from the mid-fourth century BC to the third century AD. The essays examine various aspects of war representation, including audience reception, display contexts, and the language used in images. The authors also analyze the construction of the Roman view of themselves, their past, and their future. By considering these different approaches, a nuanced understanding of how Romans perceived and conveyed the significance of war is gained. This volume offers a comprehensive study of representations of war in ancient Rome, shedding light on the complexities of this aspect of Roman culture.
