Imagining the Divine Art in Religions of Late Antiquity Across Eurasia Edited by Jaś Elsner and Rachel Wood Series: British Museum Research Publications
An innovative approach to the study of the place of art in ancient religion. This groundbreaking volume brings together scholars of the art and archaeology of Late Antiquity across cultures and regions reaching from India to Iberia, to discuss how objects can inform our understanding of religions. Despite recent steps to incorporate objects into such studies, much academic discourse remains stubbornly textual. This volume seeks to explore the ramifications of placing objects first and foremost in the comparative study of religions in Late Antiquity.

A Globalised Visual Culture? Towards a Geography of Late Antique Art Edited by Fabio Guidetti and Katharina Meinecke
Investigates the seemingly globalised visual culture that spread across the late antique world. Late antique artefacts, and the images they carry, attest to a highly connected visual culture from c. 300 to 800 CE. This volume explores the reasons behind this seemingly globalised visual culture, both within the borders of the (former) Roman and (later) Byzantine Empire and beyond. The wide range of case studies from different geographical and cultural contexts exemplifies the scale of the phenomenon and demonstrates the benefit of utilising a combination of different theoretical approaches.
