Focusing on ekphrasis as a practice intertwined with embodied imagination, this volume presents a comprehensive study of ancient ecphrastic shields. It uniquely examines a group of these shields collectively, highlighting their interconnected development rather than treating them in isolation. This fresh perspective sheds light on the verbal dimensions of this artistic expression, offering valuable insights into its significance in ancient contexts.
