Description
The Art of the Roman Empire AD 100-450 by Jaś Elsner A groundbreaking exploration of the visual arts in the Roman Empire's transformation from Imperial Rome to the era of late antiquity. This book delves into the role of art as both reflection and agent of change, examining its relationship with power, death, society, acculturation, and religion. Elsner presents a fresh interpretation of this cultural crucible, where many fundamental developments of later European art had their origins. The second edition includes new discussions on the Eurasian context of Roman art, an updated bibliography, and full-colour illustrations.
