The well-known formats of Roman sculpture are the ones best preserved, but inevitably
limited to those designed to be permanent and immobile. A significant component of
the Roman visual world missing from this record are those images which depict or stand
in for the Roman gods during ceremonies. Statuary of this type is in some measure
mobile, designed specifically to be carried about in processions, brought out for
public viewing at throne ceremonies, or participate in divine banquets. In addition
to defining the characteristics of these ceremonial sculptures, this study also addresses
their performative qualities: where and how they appeared, who was responsible for
handling them, with what conventions of decorum, and with what response from the audience
