Produktbeschreibung
Roman Imperialism and Provincial Art, first published in 2003, focuses on the art works created in the provinces of the Roman Empire. Heretofore marginalized, or at best understood in terms of emulations of the symbols, styles, and tastes of metropolitan Rome, provincial art is often portrayed as a poor copy of works created in the imperial capital. In this volume, the contributors address the diversity and complexity of the evidence and also offer fresh interpretations of mosaics, wall-paintings, statues and jewelry in an effort to determine what these art works can tell us about the nature of life under an imperial regime. The broad geographical and chronological coverage allows unique insights into the social and political significance of visual expression across the Roman Empire.
Autorenporträt
Sarah Scott was born the youngest of nine children in North Yorkshire but spent most of her childhood on her mother's estate in Kent. When she was young, Scott caught small pox and was left severely disfigured by the scarring. She hid herself in books until she eventually married her husband, George Lewis Scott, only to scandalously flee his home some months later. There has been much speculation as to why the couple separated, rumours spread about domestic abuse to an illicit affair between Sarah and her best friend, Lady Barbara Montagu. Destitute and belonging to no man, Sarah and Lady Barbara settled in Bath where they lived and volunteered to help the poor. In 1762, Sarah published her most successful novel Millenium Hall. Sarah lived humbly until 1795.
