The Greek and Roman Trophy: From Battlefield Marker to Icon of Power: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Greek and Roman Trophy: From Battlefield Marker to Icon of Power" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In The Greek and Roman Trophy: From Battlefield Marker to Icon of Power, Kinnee presents the first monographic treatment of ancient trophies in sixty years. The study spans Archaic Greece through the Augustan Principate. Kinnee aims to create a holistic view of this complex monument-type by breaking down boundaries between the study of art history, philology, the history of warfare, and the anthropology of religion and magic. Ultimately, the kaleidoscopic picture that emerges is of an ad hoc anthropomorphic Greek talisman that gradually developed into a sophisticated, Augustan sculptural or architectural statement of power. The former, a product of the hoplite phalanx, disappeared from battlefields as the Macedonian cavalry grew in importance, shifting instead onto coins and into rhetoric, where it became a statement of military might. For their part, the Romans seem to have encountered the trophy as an icon on Syracusan coinage. Recognizing its value as a statement of territorial ownership, the Romans spent two centuries honing the trophy-concept into an empire-building tool, planted at key locations around the Mediterranean to assert Roman presence and dominance.

This volume covers a ubiquitous but poorly understood phenomenon and will therefore be instructive to upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars in all fields of Classical Studies.

The Greek and Roman Trophy
In this volume Kinnee offers a comprehensive account of the development of the trophy in Greek and Roman culture. Combining study of the literary and archaeological evidence with insights from anthropology and the history of religions, she offers a provocative new interpretation of the Greek trophy, radically different from the icon of power it later became.

I would like to thank my dissertation advisor, Katherine E. Welch, for her encouragement and guidance throughout my graduate career. She consistently challenged me, broadened my intellectual purview, and sharpened my skills as a scholar. I also owe a great debt of gratitude to James R. McCredie, who served as a mentor and provided countless hours of instruction and assistance that went above and beyond requirements or expectations. I am especially grateful to T. Corey Brennan, who helped hone the book in its final hours and who provided invaluable insight into the historical and philological aspects of my project, as well as unflagging encouragement. In addition, I am indebted to Gnter Kopcke and Thelma Thomas for reading early drafts of my manuscript.
I would like to acknowledge the advice, assistance and input of a bevy of other scholars as well: Clemente Marconi for crucial input regarding the Greek visual culture of warfare; Peter Schultz and Andrew Stewart for hours of conversation and drives through Boeotia; William Murray for allowing me to join him for several days in his examination of the Nikopolis monument; Gregory Bucher for constant support and for his philological input; and of course Kathryn Blair Moore for acting as a coach, a brainstorming partner and a lifeline. I would be remiss in my duties if I did not also thank Judith M. Barringer for stimulating my interest in antiquity and for being the first to teach me how to think about the Classical world.
The completion of this book would not have been possible without the financial backing of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, and the American Academy in Rome. All three of these institutions not only funded my research, but also greatly contributed to my academic formation. I am also grateful to Routledge Press, the anonymous reviewers, and especially to my editor Elizabeth Risch for her patience and assistance with problems large and small.
I owe a more personal debt of gratitude to my parents, Gale Murray and Sandy Kinnee, and to my husband, Jeffrey Wilbur, for standing by me through this process and making it possible for me to finish. For that, I also must thank Cynthia Rose.
