The aesthetics of emulation in the visual arts of ancient Rome

by Ellen Perry

This study examines Roman strategies for the appropriation of Greek visual culture through the lens of specific cultural values. It analyses techniques such as copying, allusion, and aemulatio to show how Roman artists engaged with and rivalled their models.
