Book Synopsis
This 2005 volume examines the 'little barbarians', ten figures found in Rome in 1514, now recognized as copies of the Small (or Lesser) Attalid Dedication on the Athenian Akropolis. Using discoveries by Manolis Korres, Andrew Stewart reconsiders the statues' form, date, and significance over a period of 2200 years.
