Download or read book The Column of Antoninus Pius written by Lise Vogel and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1973 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after the death in 161 of Antoninus Pius, his sons dedicated a column to him as a funerary monument. The form of the column in general and the reliefs on the pedestal in particular raise problems central to the understanding of Roman art. In this first thorough study, illustrated with nearly 100 photographs, Lise Vogel restores the column to its rightful place as one of the major monuments of Roman art. In addition, she re-evaluates the meaning of the column of Antoninus Pius in the context of the development of second century Roman imperial sculpture.
