This collection of essays presents some results of the research project “The Last Statues of Antiquity” (LSA), whose aim (Preface, p. v), “was to collect the full range of evidence for new, or newly erected, statues in the late Roman period, to examine the nature of these statues and how they were used, and to consider why they slowly disappeared from the urban landscape.” This ambitious goal has an empire-wide character and therefore deals with an enormous wealth of material: more than 2,800 statues and inscribed statue bases set up after the accession of Diocletian in AD 284 and before the end of the statue habit in the early 7th century. The volume is the companion to the Last Statues of Antiquity (LSA) Database created between 2009 and 2012. This database is searchable in several different ways: according to chronology, region of provenance, awarder and honorand, and many other criteria. The volume largely enhances the LSA database by discussing the material critically and in detail—, something impossible to achieve in the short individual entries of the database itself.
The Last Statues of Antiquity is the first comprehensive survey of Roman honorific statues in the public realm in Late Antiquity, offering a richly illustrated pan-Empire exploration of the reasons behind the decline and eventual disppearance of Roman statuary c.AD 250-650, examining variations between regions, cities, and the honorands.
