Reviews

the book is an excellent accompaniment * Geoffrey Hunt, Reference Reviews * The empire-wide perspective and wide chronological span of this book add much to our understanding of the late antique statue habit, as do the strict methodology and approach pursued by the authors, allowing even experts in the field to improve their knowledge on this topic. The whole phenomenon is explored in a fresh and more precise way in this book which will undoubtedly become a reference work in future bibliographies. * Valentina Di Napoli, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
