Representations of war in ancient Rome / edited by Sheila Dillon, Katherine E. Welch.
Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2006.
xiv, 365 pages : illustrations, map, plans ; 27 cm
War suffused Roman life to a degree unparalled in other ancient societies. Although the place of war in ancient Roman culture has been the subject of many studies, this book examines how Romans represented war, in both visual imagery and in literary accounts. Spanning a broad chronological range, from the mid-fourth century BC to the third century AD, the essays in this volume consider audience reception, the reconstruction of display contexts, as well as the language of images, which could be either explicit or allusive in representations of war. They also analyze the construction of the Romans' view of themselves, their past, and their future.
