Coleman, ed., Images for Classicists, Loeb Classical Monographs 15 (Cambridge, MA, 2015) • "The stupefying flattery of Statius (Silv. 4.2) makes Domitian's palatial dining room ceiling into an image of the vault of heaven. Heaven itself by now is alleged to have coffers,... Manilius (Astr. 1.532-6) [proves] it. Looking upwards, in the tradition of Thales and Socrates, might be dangerous, but it was the philosophical pose, the admired posture from Plato onwards. The wealthy homeowners who commissioned handsome floor mosaics and painted ceilings, O'Sullivan suggests, conceived them as facilitating philosophical thinking while they simultaneously served as symbols of moral decline. They succeeded in having and eating their cakes" (from Lateiner's review). • Review: Lateiner, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.08.13 |
