In this lavishly illustrated volume, Christine Kondoleon conducts us through the House of Dionysos, showing us what its interior decoration discloses about its inhabitants and their time.Seen from within the context of the house, the mosaics become eloquent witnesses to an elusive dialogue between inhabitants and guests, and to the intermingling of public and private. Kondoleon draws on the insights of art history and archaeology to show what the mosaics in the House of Dionysos can tell us about these complex relations. She explores the issues of period and regional styles, workshop traditions, the conditions of patronage, and the forces behind iconographic change. Her work marks a major advance, not just in the study of Roman mosaics, but in our knowledge of Roman society. 606 $aMosaics, Roman$zCyprus$zPaphos 606 $aPavements, Mosaic$zCyprus$zPaphos 606 $aMythology, Greek, in art 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMosaics, Roman 615 0$aPavements, Mosaic 615 0$aMythology, Greek, in art. 676 $a729/.7/093937 700 $aKondoleon$b Christine$0538062 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466796903321 996 $aDomestic and divine$92485500 997 $aUNINA
