A wide and varied range of entertainment was available to a Roman audience: the traditional festivals with their athletic contests and dramatic performances, pantomime and mime, the chariot races of the circus, and the gladiatorial shows and wild beast hunts of the arena. In Theater and Spectacle in the Art of the Roman Empire, which is richly illustrated in color throughout, Katherine M. D. Dunbabin emphasizes the visual evidence for these events. 00Images of spectacle appear in a wide range of artistic media, from the mosaics and paintings that decorated wealthy private houses to the sculpture of tomb monuments, and from luxury objects such as silver tableware to more humble ceramic lamps and pottery vessels. Dunbabin places the information derived from this visual material into the wider context provided by the written sources, both literary and epigraphic. This allows us to understand the functions that these images served in the social rituals of public and domestic life. By explicating both the social and cultural role of the spectacles themselves and the nature of their representation in art, Dunbabin provides a comprehensive portrait of the popular culture of the period. 650 0 $a Theater $z Rome $x History. 650 0 $a Entertainment events $z Rome $x History. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z Rome. 650 0 $a Theater in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85134572 650 0 $a Spectacular, The, in art. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2003006244 650 0 $a Art, Roman $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Art and society $z Rome. 650 7 $a Art and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 $a Art, Roman $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00816816 650 7 $a Entertainment events. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912691 650 7 $a Popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071344 650 7 $a Spectacular, The, in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01200488 650 7 $a Theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149217 650 7 $a Theater in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149338 651 7 $a Rome (Empire) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204885 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Cornell studies in classical philology. $p Townsend lectures. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n84740302 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217020141.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3C090AB6026811E89DEE1C1997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
