| Sommario/riassunto: | The first book-length treatment of artistic ecphrasis at Rome, 'The Captor's Image' resituates a major literary trope deep within its hybrid cultural context, and argues for ecphrasis as a cultural practice through which the Romans sought, over some four hundred years of their history, to redefine Romanness both with and against Greekness. |
