For centuries, statuary decor was a main characteristic of any city, sanctuary, or
villa in the Roman world. However, from the third century CE onward, the prevalence
of statues across the Roman Empire declined dramatically. By the end of the sixth
century, statues were no longer a defining characteristic of the imperial landscape.
Further, changing religious practices cast pagan sculpture in a threatening light.
Statuary production ceased, and extant statuary was either harvested for use in construction
or abandoned in place. The Afterlife of Greek and Roman Sculpture is the first volume
to approach systematically the antique destruction and reuse of statuary, investigating
key responses to statuary across most regions of the Roman world. The volume opens
with a discussion of the complexity of the archaeological record and a preliminary
chronology of the fate of statues across both the eastern and western imperial landscape.
Contributors to the volume address questions of definition, identification, and interpretation
for particular treatments of statuary, including metal statuary and the systematic
reuse of villa materials
