'Z.'s purpose is not to provide a simple, historical account of Augustan art and its monument, but rather to analyse the devolopment of an imagery suited to convey the cultural renewal and imperial mythology of Augustus' New Rome, and to investigate the 'creation of a whole new method of visual communication.' (G.B. WAYWELL in The Classical Review (New Series), 1991, p.186 on the English edition of Zanker, 'The Power of Images in the Age of Augustus'). (Antiquarian) (approx. delivery time: undeliverable)
