Publisher's note: "The Art of Ancient Spectacle introduces live performance as a synthetic category of ancient culture, in which artifacts played varied roles. This consideration of their importance in nonverbal performances serves to broaden understanding of the original context and function of surviving images. Events such as combat in the arena, festivals, theatrical productions, processions, and private entertainments including banquets are discussed in terms of their forms and the visual arts created for them. In general, art and architecture functioned on three levels: as prop and setting, as a record of the event, and as mimetic agent to recreate the event in the beholder's mind. These nineteen essays by philologists, historians, archaeologists, and art historians demonstrate the diversity of venues beyond the arena where people learned by participation and spectatorship what it meant to be Greek or Roman." -- Provided by publisher.
