Title: The Iconography of Sculptured Statue Bases in the Archaic and Classical Periods (Wisconsin Studies in Classics)
Description: "This is the only systematic study to date of all known Greek relief statue bases, both surviving and cited in literary sources. It identifies and analyzes the distinct iconographic and technical characteristics of relief bases and discusses the relation of the relief bases to the monuments they supported. It comments on the iconography of Greek relief bases from their introduction in the mid-seventh century to the end of the fourth century B. C.

Angeliki Kosmopoulou demonstrates that relief bases present distinct, consistent iconographic and technical characteristics that differentiate them from related monuments."--BOOK JACKET.
