Reviews

Both the collection of evidence and much of the iconographic analysis represent an important contribution which will be of lasting value. Margaret H. Williams, Journal of Roman Studies [A] thorough and well-researched study Elizabeth Bartman, Classical World [a] solid work(s) of scholarship...remind(s) us of the hard and physical aspect of ancient culture, too often centred on warlike competitiveness. Antiquity 80 The Roman Nude admirably and energetically contextualizes its enigmatic subject. Emma Dench, Art History
