Euhormos: Greco-Roman Studies in Anchori Itinerant Greek Sculpture in Roman Italy and Greece and the Temple of Apollo Sosianus on the Campus Martius in Rome, Book 14, (Hardcover)

In Roman Italy there were many sculptures and architectural elements from the Greek world, sometimes already centuries old. These objects had been transferred to the Italic peninsula where they became an integrated part of Roman society and culture. The Greek statues that were made part of the decoration of the temple of Apollo Sosianus in Rome, one of the main subjects of this volume, are exemplary of this process of transfer, appropriation, impact and change. Such reuse of (ancient) Greek statuary is also visible in Greece itself during the Roman period. This volume brings together international specialists on this fascinating phenomenon. Critically questioning older paradigms that understood Greek statues on the move as representations of 'Greek culture' in the first place, this book explores new interpretative frameworks to analyse these impactful objects in their own right.
