社会和政治背景下的罗马帝国艺术

这本新的概述通过将作品置于完整的历史背景中来理解罗马艺术——向学生展示了艺术在罗马社会和政治中如何被使用以及为何被使用（例如，富有的罗马人通过赞助公共项目来推广自己）。本书创新地专门用几个章节介绍了各省的艺术而不是只局限于罗马这个国家。马克•富勒顿（Mark Fullerton）对整个帝国的罗马艺术进行了最深入的研究，将罗马艺术与地中海以及整个世界联系在一起。

The art of the Roman empire, in social and political context

This new survey makes sense of Roman art by placing works in their full historical context―showing students not only how but also why art was used in Roman society and politics (such as wealthy Romans sponsoring public projects to promote themselves). The book breaks new ground by devoting chapters to art from the provinces, rather than focusing solely on Rome itself. Mark Fullerton provides the most in-depth look at Roman art from across the empire, connecting Roman art to the Mediterranean and the wider world.
