Böcker av Diana E. E. Kleiner

This beautifully illustrated book offers a synthesis of Cleopatra's and Rome's defining moments through surviving art and other remnants of what was once an opulent material culture. This culture best chronicles Cleopatra's legend and suggests her subtle but indelible mark on the art of imperial Rome at the critical moment of its inception.

Discusses all the major public and private monuments in Rome, as well as many less well-known monuments in the capital and elsewhere in the empire. Kleiner examines art commissioned by the imperial elite as well as by private patrons, including freedmen and slaves.
