Reviews
“An important and intelligent contribution to our knowledge about the Ara Pacis and the practice of Roman sculptors in general. . . . [Conlin] has taken a much needed closer look at an artistic hallmark of the Augustan age and initiated us into one of its basic characteristics.”--Classical Journal
“Conlin repeatedly demonstrates how a fresh approach can tease new meanings from even an exhaustively studied monument. . . . An advocate of ‘close looking,’ Conlin will inspire students to mine the surviving visual evidence for a deeper understanding of antiquity.”--Classical World
“This lavishly illustrated study represents an important contribution to our understanding of the production of Roman sculpture.”American Journal of Archaeology
“[This book] will inspire others to take a second look at other Hellenizing sculptures, and actually demonstrates what has only before been assumed.”--Bryn Mawr Classical Review
“The quality of Conlin’s observations is outstanding, and much will be of great assistance to students of stone-carving in Augustan Rome.”--Times Literary Supplement
“A meticulous analysis of the sculpting of Rome’s Ara Pacis Augustae. . . . Essential reading for students of Roman art and sculpture of any period.”--History: Reviews of New Books
