Figural and non-figural supports are a ubiquitous feature of Roman marble sculpture; they appear in sculptures ranging in size from miniature to colossal and of all levels of quality. At odds with modern ideas about beauty, completeness, and visual congruence, these elements, especially non-figural struts, have been dismissed by scholars as mere safeguards for production and transport. However, close examination of these features reveals the tastes and expectations of those who commissioned, bought, and displayed marble sculptures throughout the Mediterranean in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Drawing on a large body of examples, Greek and Latin literary sources, and modern theories of visual culture, this study constitutes the first comprehensive investigation of non-figural supports in Roman sculpture. The book overturns previous conceptions of Roman visual values and traditions and challenges our understanding of the Roman reception of Greek art.

Von 1898 bis 1902 finanzierte der Unternehmer Ernst von Sieglin (1848 -1927) eine Expedition nach Alexandria zur Erforschung des hellenistisch-römischen Ägyptens. Die Funde der Grabung sowie weitere in Ägypten aufgekaufte Sammlungen stiftete er dem Dresdner Albertinum, dem Stuttgarter Landesmuseum und dem Archäologischen Institut der Universität Tübingen. In dem neuen Bestandskatalog wird jetzt erstmals die gesamte, meist kleinformatige Marmorskulptur der Expedition Ernst von Sieglin publiziert, sowohl die Funde als auch die in Ägypten angekauften Sammlungen. Ferner wird die Grabung im sogenannten Königsviertel Alexandrias, 331 v. Chr. von Alexander dem Grossen gegründet, sowie im berühmten Heiligtum des Sarapis mit bislang unpublizierten Grabungsfotos und Plänen vorgestellt. Exhibition: Museum Schloss Hohentübingen, Tübingen, Germany (11.5.-30.9.2012).
