Restaging Greek Artworks in Roman Times

This volume offers a collection of essays dealing with the material and immaterial (metaphorical) reuse of Greek art in Roman times from different perspectives and with regard to a wide range of contexts and aspects. The common thread of this volume is an exploration of the reuse of Greek artworks in Roman times from an object-oriented and cultural-historical perspective, taking into account the “history” or “biography” of the artworks as a whole. The metaphor of “restaging” intends to highlight an interest in the process of transformation of artworks and their contexts over time and space. Following these premises, this volume moves from a focus in Part I on the “lives” of the Fondazione Sorgente Group Athena Nike to the investigation of different forms of restaging Greek artworks in Roman times in Part II.
