About this title

Synopsis

The artists of ancient Rome portrayed the barbarian enemies of the empire in sculpture, reliefs, metalwork, and jewelry. Iain Ferris' study of these remarkable images illuminates a great deal about the barbarians about Roman art, and about the decline of the Roman Empire. The book is finely illustrated with outstanding examples of Roman art, from the "Dying Gaul" to the columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius.
