Eidola. International Journal of Classical Art History. 2/2005. [Ed. Brossura]

In the prolific and varied world of scholarly publishing dedicated to classical antiquity, "Eidola" stands out for its consistent publication of articles written from an art-historical perspective. It also provides a place for theoretical reflection, which nowadays has largely faded into the background, in favour of an approach addressing issues of territory, location, material and society. The journal offers articles dealing with archaic and classical Greece and the urban and provincial Roman world. However, it also welcomes essays on subjects in other areas of antiquity, acknowledging the continuity of an ancient figurative tradition which greatly influenced the production of images long after the empire ended. "Eidola"'s pages will therefore prove to be a significant place for an exchange of opinions on methods, aimed at increasing our understanding of the complex world of images, an essential avenue of communication in both the public and private spheres.
