Description
Book SynopsisThis book presents in detail the freestanding sculptures of the Corinth Theatre assembled from fragmentary remains, and reveals other architectural sculptures and figures. Drawing on over 30 years of study, the author also presents her ideas about sculptural decoration in the Corinth theatre and throughout the Roman East.
Trade ReviewThis book is an excellent primary publication of an important body of Roman sculpture from a recorded context. The work is thoughtful, careful, intelligent. It is good to see such painstaking attention paid to the full range of marbles recovered--making the fragments speak.
