How archaeological context brings Roman marble sculptures back to life
In short: Discover how the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures uses archaeological context to reconstruct the histories of Roman sculptures, many of which are being displayed together for the first time.
In this lecture, Kiersten Neumann and Roko Rumora explore the 'Making Sense of Marbles' exhibition. The presentation examines how sculptures with divergent histories can be understood by looking at their original archaeological context, a method essential for telling an object's true story.
