A History of Roman Art

A History of Roman Art, 2nd Edition, is a textbook by Fred S. Kleiner, published by Cengage Learning. The volume surveys the art and architecture of Rome and its empire, examining how visual culture developed within its historical, political, and social contexts.

Chronological coverage spans from the era of Romulus through the death of Constantine. The presentation addresses Etruscan and Greek traditions in Italy before the emergence of Rome, alongside the rise of Christian art and architectural forms during the Late Empire.

Updated to reflect recent scholarship, the second edition adds more than 400 new color photographs across print and digital formats to support students during visual study.
