Sculture del Museo Archeologico al Teatro Romano di Verona

The volume examines 190 sculptures from the museum’s collection: freestanding sculptures (nos. 1-31), idealized heads (nos. 32-45), portraits of prominent figures and private individuals (nos. 46-58), a series of reliefs belonging to various monumental groups, including a notable series of votive altars (nos. 59-85), sculptures of uncertain antiquity (nos. 161-171), and modern sculptures inspired by ancient models (nos. 192-191). Also included is a large group of fragments (nos. 86-160), some of which are related to complexes or finds attested by more complete sculptures. Three introductory essays address the history of sculpture finds in Verona and its surrounding region, the history of the sculptures in the collection—from the sixteenth-century Giusti collection to those of the late nineteenth century—and, finally, an essay on “antique-style” sculptures, with particular focus on the marbles housed in the museum. The result is a comprehensive overview of Verona’s sculptural production, representing various monumental classes and covering a chronological span from the late Republican period to the Late Antiquity.
