About the work

Art Forms and Civic Life in the Late Roman Empire (ISBN 9780691003054) reveals how visual culture, monumental architecture, and artistic production intersected with political authority and public memory during a transformative era. This work examines the relationship between art, ritual, urban space, and social order, offering a nuanced account of how late antique forms of expression shaped civic identity.

Summary

The book traces the emergence and consolidation of art forms—mosaics, sculpture, inscriptions, and liturgical imagery—within late Roman cities, arguing that cultural production served as a key instrument of governance and communal cohesion. It analyzes how communities used imagery to negotiate power, faith, and daily life, linking aesthetic decisions to broader political and social dynamics of the period.

About the author

H. P. L'Orange, a distinguished scholar of late antiquity, brings decades of research into the cultural machinery of the Roman world. His work combines carefully sourced historical context with an eye for the symbolic meanings of material culture, offering penetrating insights into how art functioned within public life and political legitimacy.

In brief

The book argues that artistic forms were instrumental in shaping civic identity and authority in the late Roman Empire, revealing how visual culture sustained and contested political life.
