Review

"One of the great strengths of the book is Bassett's ability to synthesize the wide range of evidence about individual sculptures in their Constantinopolitan settings into a series of lucid chapters focused on the major ideological trends in the fourth-to-sixth century shaping of the city...This book's accessible and straightfoward discussion of the use of ancient sculpture in the early Byzantine city will be of immense value to scholars and students interested in questions of late antique urbanism, of the reception of the classical past, and the history of collecting and display." CAA Reviews Ann Marie Yasin

Book Description

From its foundation in the fourth century to its fall to the Ottoman Turks in the fifteenth, the city of Constantinople boasted a collection of antiquities unrivaled by any city of the medieval world. This book reconstructs the collection from the time that the city was founded by Constantine the Great through the sixth century reign of the emperor Justinian. Drawing on medieval literary sources, graphic and archaeological material, it identifies and describes the antiquities that were known to have stood in the city's public spaces.
