The Roman Nude: Heroic Portrait Statuary 200 BC - AD 300 - Oxford Studies in Ancient Culture Representation
Hallett, Christopher H. (Associate Professor of History of Art and Classics, University of California at Berkeley)
Nude statues of Roman emperors, generals, businessmen, and their wives survive from the ancient world in large numbers. This book explores the reasons why so many Romans chose to have themselves represented naked, and what this choice may tell us about Roman attitudes towards the self, the body, and personal identity.
