Product Description
Review
"There is no book, in my opinion, that competes with this one... This book is excellent in every way. The approach is sound, for the authors are leading experts... I would recommend it in glowing terms." — Nancy T. De Grummond, Florida State University, Tallahassee
"Ramage and Ramage not only present the Roman world, but they show how Rome has influenced the modern world in many ways, and how the present is bound to the past... We have used no other text since Ramage and Ramage appeared." — Carol C. Mattusch, George Mason University
"The clarity and the use of ample illustrations make this an excellent choice as a text for an undergraduate course on Roman Art." — Mary Sturgeon, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"Each and every chapter flows beautifully... This text, Roman Art, would seem to be appropriate for multidisciplinary classes involving art majors (especially art history), classic culture, history, Latin, architecture, and classical archaeology." — Robin M. Hicks, Ball State University
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.Product Description

First Sentence
IN ORDER TO GET A SENSE of the long history that lies behind the formation of the art and culture of the Roman people that was to be carried so far afield, we must take a look at their predecessors who lived on the Italian peninsula. Read the first page

Good Introductory Text
25 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
As any student of Roman Art/Archaeology knows, good introductory texts are hard to find. This text, now considered by many to be the "standard text", is a MUST for anyone who is just beginning the journey into Roman Art and for more advanced students as a general reference. The authors cover the entire gamut of the subject with readable texts supplimented with excellent images. They were also wise enough to include the most up-to-date schalorly information.

Great book
2 May 2005
Format:Hardcover
"Roman Art" is easily one of the best art history books I have ever read. What really sets it apart is the writing style - rather than being dry and stuffy, the language is very clear, understandable, and *gasp* engaging! Be warned, the pictures are primarily black and white, but many of the objects covered, being marble statues and buildings, have no need for color. Those items that are printed in color, like wall paintings, are items that really benefit from it. I would highly recommend this book to those interested in Roman art, and even to those who aren't - I had no real interest in Roman art when I used "Roman Art" in an art history class, but this book has made it one of my favorite subjects.

The best!
9 Jan 2004
Format:Paperback
This book is an absolute gem! It is thorough and very educational yet quite readable and even entertaining. The text is paired with brilliant photos that make the topic come to life. Even while cramming for a test, this book made my study time less boring and even enjoyable!
A must for anyone interested in the topic of Roman art - provides a solid foundation.
