Riassunto

A unique, fully illustrated, and fascinating study of all the known carved reliefs decorating official inscriptions in classical and Hellenistic Athens. The author's new and illuminating work on the iconography of these reliefs shows how the gods, heroes, and other personifications were not simply decorative, but integral to the overall political message.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

The necessity of placing these reliefs fully within their historical, political, and artistic context is rightly emphasized by Lawton, and she carries out this promise in an exemplary manner throughout ... This is a very thorough and approachable study, and will surely remain the standard work on the subject for a long time to come. (K. W. Arafat, The Classical Review)

This most complete and rigorous treatment of the subject, equipped with excellent photographs, is especially welcome...an outstanding work of scholarship, very handsomely produced, which everyone interested in Greek sculpture and Athenian history and culture will want to own. (Bryn Mawr Classical Review)
