Overview
Im Gesamtbestand des Museo Gregoriano Profano sind die Historischen Reliefs mit 20 Denkmalern eine zahlenmassig wenig umfangreiche aber uberaus wichtige Gruppe. Sie umfasst neben kaum bekannten Stucken auch zentrale Werke der romischen Kunst wie die Reliefs von der ""Ara der Vicomagistri"", die ""Grossen Cancelleria-Reliefs"" und den ""Larenaltar vom Belvedere"", die in den letzten Jahrzehnten intensiv und oft kontrovers diskutiert worden sind. Auch weniger prominente Reliefs, die zum Teil wegen ihres Erhaltungszustandes schwierig zu deuten sind, erweisen sich durch die eingehenden Untersuchungen als aufschlussreiche Zeugnisse offentlicher Monumente.

Reviews
Review - German The volume under review is an exemplary publication of the historical reliefs housed in the Vatican museums and makes a useful contribution to our understanding of several important monuments.[...]Overall, the entries are excellent: each gives a comprehensive account of the relevant provenance, museum history, and earlier literature, followed by a full description, interpretation, and assessment of the likely date.[...]The whole is an impressive, high-quality catalogue that demonstrates the value of careful observation and description, and a restrained, minimalist interpretive approach.

Overall, the entries are excellent: each gives a comprehensive account of the relevant provenance, museum history, and earlier literature, followed by a full description, interpretation, and assessment of the likely date. These written sections are supported by 96 black-and-white plates, as well as 67 figures, plans, and reconstructions. This visual documentation is of the best modern standard, providing multiple views and details of each monument, and, in the case of the figures and reconstructions, presenting the key reliefs with a level of detail not often matched. . . . The whole is an impressive, high-quality catalogue that demonstrates the value of careful observation and description, and a restrained, minimalist interpretive approach. --Thomas Runeckles, University of Oxford, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2019.07.45
