Art under the Roman Empire II

Themes in Roman Art

These lectures address key themes in Roman Art. They are designed to complement the chronological overview given in Roman Art I, and the focus upon mosaics, wall painting and provincial material presented in the Roman Art III lectures. They will address the following concerns:

1. The 'Problem of Roman art'
2. Funerary Self-Representation in the Provinces
3. The Art of Ordinary Romans (freedmen, slaves and lots of others)
4. Artists, Workshops, and Clients
5. The so-called Minor Arts
6. Responses to Images (iconoclasm etc.)
7. The Art of Religion
8. Myth in Roman Contexts
