Description

Explore the complex history of architectural and sculptural spoliation in the Roman Empire with this scholarly volume from Cambridge University Press. This book examines how materials such as imperial portraits, statues, and architectural moldings were repurposed throughout history. Rather than being a phenomenon limited to Late Antiquity, the research presented here demonstrates that secondary intervention in physical materials occurred centuries earlier than previously recognized. Through a collection of essays written by international experts, the text argues that the reuse of materials was a natural part of how humans manipulated their physical environment. This work is essential for students and researchers interested in the aesthetics and functions of Roman material culture.
