Attalos, Athens and the Akropolis: The Pergamene 'Little Barbarians' and their Roman and Renaissance Legacy
by Andrew Stewart
This volume examines the "little barbarians," ten highly expressive Roman marble figures found in Rome in 1514, now recognized as copies of the Small (or Lesser) Attalid Dedication on the Athenian Akropolis. Manolis Korres' recent discovery of the monument's pedestals led Andrew Stewart to a complete reconsideration of the statues' form, date, and significance.
