Tradition in Late Antique Sculpture (acta Jutlandica)

An examination of the reworking and reuse of marble sculpture in the late Roman period, a subject that has previously been neglected. Whilst repair and reuse of Antique sculpture has been common since the Renaissance - often for spurious reasons - Hannestad argues that well-known monuments like the Ara Pacis actually represent several working phases, with late Antiquity often setting the final stamp upon a monument, and he explores the implications of this on our understanding of the sculptural scenery of this period.
