“The most daring attempt ever made to present Greek and Roman art as a single coherent system of representation, amenable to systematic (synchronic) analysis. It has far-reaching ramifications for our understanding of ancient society, its art, and its monuments.”—Chris Hallett, Professor of Roman Art, University of California, Berkeley "A bold and visionary book, one that teems with original and provocative ideas about the place of images in Greek and Roman cultures. Hölscher has given his readers new ways to conceptualize the relationships between ancient art and social life, between representation and reality, and I look forward to the many responses this important work will surely inspire."—Seth Estrin, Assistant Professor of Art History, University of Chicago
