About
Think of ancient Rome and images of imposing sculptures or large-scale monuments might come to mind. Join classicist Emily Gowers author of The Small Stuff of Roman Antiquity for a different perspective. She explores the importance of “small things” revealed by Roman writers and ancient artifacts including some of the tiny artworks in the Getty Villa’s collection. What do insignificant-seeming objects tell us about the physical and emotional needs of Romans who cherished handled and used them? Do they give us a special kind of access or do they make us feel more distant from the past?
