Pliny on Art and Society: The Elder Pliny's Chapters on the History of Art

By Jacob Isager

Pliny sketches a theory of advancing moral decline and extravagance, in the course of which he gives a detailed account of six centuries of classical art and a fascinating sketch of the world of the rich Roman collector. Isager's is the first full treatment of this subject for over a hundred years.
