Statues in Roman Society

Dejo aquí un fragmento interesante, donde Peter Stewart define el eje de su reciente libro, Statues in Roman Society, New York: Oxford University Press, 2003. Los que quieran tener acceso al libro, escríbanme

This book examines characteristics of the Roman's engagement with statuary. It is not mainly concerned with particular statues, long ago dislodged from their various ancient contexts, nor with the modern categories of "sculpture", "portraiture", "fine art" and "cult", with which we have tended to organize archaeologically rootless survivals of ancient art. it is concerned rather with all the statues, viewed together according to Roman categories. It takes as its focus the apparently limitless subject of Roman statues-as a collectivity-rather than the generic "sculpture".
