Review:
... series of highly interesting and original articles that attempt to explicate the theological significance of [...] images produced in the Roman empire at the beginning of the Christian era. [...] The authors' methodology typically combines a skillful review of literary sources with a wide-ranging survey of the pictorial images of late antiquity. The results are often enlightening and the essays are a pleasure to read. Jeffrey Spier, University of Arizona, Journal of Roman Archaeology Volume 27 (2014)
