Introduction: what is Roman about Roman art? -- Rome and Italy before the Empire (c. 800-27 BCE) -- The formation of the Roman Empire (27 BCE -- 96 CE) -- The high empire (96-192 CE) -- Collapse and recovery : art across the later Roman Empire (193-337 CE).

This new survey makes sense of Roman art by placing works in their full historical context--showing students not only how but also why art was used in Roman society and politics (such as wealthy Romans sponsoring public projects to promote themselves). The book breaks new ground by devoting chapters to art from the provinces, rather than focusing solely on Rome itself. Mark Fullerton provides the most in-depth look at Roman art from across the empire, connecting Roman art to the Mediterranean and the wider world.
