Published by the Swedish Institute of Classical Studies in Rome. Distributed by Astrom Editions. Opus Mixtum. Essays in ancient art and society Edited by Eva Rystedt, Charlotte Scheffer and Charlotte Wikander Abstract Fifteen papers on various aspects of ancient art and society are gathered in this volume. They deal with the choice of moment depicted in the Parthenon frieze, the use of the Greek architectural orders in political propaganda, and the “programme” of the relief plaques from zone F at Acquarossa which is suggested to be celebrations connected to the ruler. The architectural layout of a well-temple in Sardinia is interpreted as an iconographic message of the cult of Tanit-Astarte. The significance of the horse in connection with death and the various types of female deities connected with horses in Archaic Greek religion are discussed, as well as the image of Artemis Ephesia and its connection with the mysteries of the goddess, the epithet Ambologera (“Delayer of old age”) attributed to Aphrodite, and the role of women in Roman religion. A white-ground lekythos by the Achilles Painter with the “mistress-and-maid” motif associated with music-making is analysed. A reconstruction of the Laocoon group, especially regarding the positions of the serpents is…

Roman studies in honour of Torgil Magnusson Edited by Thomas Hall, Börje Magnusson & Carl Nylander Preface As Torgil Magnusson retires after more than thirty years as teacher and professor of Art History at the Swedish Institute in Rome, the Board of the Institute and his colleagues, students and friends—many of whom acquired their love of Renaissance and Baroque architecture and art from him—are happy to present him with this volume of Roman Studies. It is no small token of Torgil Magnusson’s contribution to Swedish art historical studies that his Festschrift introduces a new series of Art History publications from the Institute—a series which his scholarship and creative teaching have done so much to make possible.
