This introduction is (as the Roman dictator Sulla called Roman government) a bit of “a two‐headed dog.” It is designed to introduce you, the reader, to both Roman art and the study of art history. In other words, to some of the overarching themes and forms of the art that follow as well as some of the ways that art historians operate and analyze that art. Let’s start with the controversies.
