Seeks to understand the multiple ways that art in ancient Rome formulated the very conditions for its own viewing, and as a result was complicit in the construction of subjectivity in the Roman Empire. This book examines the different contexts in which images were used, from the religious to the voyeuristic, from the domestic to the subversive.
