This book develops a new theory for the understanding o…f Roman pictorial art. By treating Roman art as a semantic system it establishes a connection between artistic forms and the ideological messages contained within. The history of Roman art traditionally followed the model of a sequence of stylistic phases affecting the works of their era in the manner of a uniform Zeitgeist. In contrast, the author shows different stylistic forms being used for different themes and messages. This leads to the reception of Greek models, a basic phenomenon of Roman art, appearing in a new light. The formulations of specific messages are established from Greek art types of different eras: Classical forms for the grandeur of the state, for example. Different stylistic forms from the Greek past serve to express Roman ideological values. In this way a conceptual and comprehensible pictorial language arose, uniting the multicultural population of the Roman state.
