The Urban Image of Late Antique Constantinople
"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."
