In the early imperial period, Roman interest in Egyptian culture was widespread, as evidenced by works ranging from the monumental obelisks, brought to the capital over the Mediterranean Sea by the emperors, to locally made emulations of Egyptian artifacts found in private homes and in temples to Egyptian gods. Although the foreign appearance of these artworks was central to their appeal, this book situates them within their social, political, and artistic contexts in Roman Italy. Swetnam-Burland focuses on what these works meant to their owners and their viewers in their new settings, by exploring evidence for the artists who produced them and by examining their relationship to the contemporary literature that informed Roman perceptions of Egyptian history, customs, and myths"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-245) and index. 505 2 $a Introduction: From Egypt to Italy -- Egyptian objects, Roman contexts : appropriation and aesthetics -- Aegyptus Redacta : Augustus' obelisks and the spoils of Egypt -- The Sanctuary of Isis in Pompeii : dedication and devotion, myth and ritual -- Appendix 3.1: Marble inscriptions from the sanctuary of Isis -- Appendix 3.2: Dipinti near the Sanctuary of Isis -- Appendix 3.3: Multiples and adaptations : Io panel paintings -- Appendix 3.4: Graffiti quoting, or, Adapting Ovid from Pompeii -- Images of Egypt : land at the limit of belief -- Appendix 4: The structure and argument of Juvenal 15 -- Conclusion: The afterlives of objects. 651 0 $a Rome $x Relations $z Egypt. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Relations $z Rome. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Foreign public opinion, Roman. 651 0 $a Rome $x History $y Empire, 30 B.C.-284 A.D. 651 0 $a Italy $x History $y To 476. 650 0 $a Art, Egyptian $z Rome $x History. 650 0 $a Architecture, Egyptian $z Rome $x History. 651 0 $a Egypt $x Antiquities. 651 0 $a Rome $x Intellectual life. 651 0 $a Rome $x Egyptian influences. $x Egyptian influences. 650 7 $a ART / History / Ancient & Classical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Architecture, Egyptian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813735 650 7 $a Art, Egyptian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816211 650 7 $a Civilization $x Egyptian influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862905 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Public opinion, Roman. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354132 651 7 $a Egypt. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208755 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 651 7 $a Rome (Empire) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204885 648 7 $a To 476 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240817010604.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B1585DF66BEF11E5917E58C1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
