Representations of war in ancient Rome
This is the first book to examine how Romans represented war, in visual imagery and literary accounts. Spanning a broad chronological range the essays consider audience reception, the reconstruction of display contexts, and the language of images, which could be either explicit or allusive in representations of war.
