Troels Myrup Kristensen and Lea Stirling, eds. The Afterlife of Greek and Roman Sculpture: Late Antique Responses and Practices . Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2016. 424 pp. 91 illustrations and 1 table. ISBN: 9780472119691. $85.00. Late Antiquity was a period of great change in the Roman Empire, when Christianity became the dominating religion, old traditions were abandoned, and temples were destroyed or adapted to suit new secular or religious purposes.

Troels Myrup Kristensen and Lea Stirling have assembled a collection of papers on this highly interesting topic that developed out of two international seminars held at Aarhus University in 2008 and 2011. The final product engagingly analyzes the reuse and afterlife of ancient sculpture in Late Antiquity, and we may congratulate the editors for managing to gather an impressive group of international scholars to discuss and publish the results of their most recent studies. The volume presents a selection of case studies for the history of Greek and Roman statues in Late Antiquity from various parts of the Roman world. The editors provide in their introduction a general view for the topic, discuss issues of methodology and interpretation, and present a chronology of the fate of the ancient statues under examination. The papers that follow are divided into three topics. Part I, “Practices of Deposition and Reuse,” includes three papers; Part II, “Regional Perspectives,” includes seven; and Part III, “Grand Narratives,” contains four. As can be seen from this structure, the main emphasis has been given to the presentation of regional studies that give us an interesting insight into local practices at Sagalassos in Asia Minor, Athens, Corinth, Ostia, Roman Germany, Sicily, and on the Lower Danube. The editors’ introduction has a poignant subtitle, “From Use to Refuse,” that marks the multiple uses …
