Statuary, the secular and religious powers in Late Antiquity
- Abstract:
- Recent archaeological research is making it clear that pagan and mythological statuary often survived until the very end of Antiquity. In this paper, two ways of viewing this statuary are examined: the secular, whereby gods and divinities are seen as cultural heritage or symbolic for specific aspects of life, and the religious, whereby gods and divinities retain power and agency. The first has dominated modern research, the second has been underappreciated.
