"The most daring attempt ever made to present Greek and Roman art as a single coherent system of representation, amenable to systematic (synchronic) analysis. It has far-reaching ramifications for our understanding of ancient society, its art, and its monuments." - Chris Hallett, Professor of Roman Art, University of California, Berkeley
