Sheila Dillon is assistant professor of art history at Duke University. A recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Academy in Rome, she is co-editor of Representations of Warfare in Ancient Rome.
"A great virtue of Dillon's study is her attention to bot the Greek setting of the original images and the display of busts and herms, and more rarely full statues of these past men of action or thought in Roman villas and gardens." -Barbara Tsakirgis, Vanderbilt University "Portrait Sculpture. Context, Subjects, and Styles... is a great book. ...[I]t is hard to do justice to the many issues that it raises. All the more reason, I think, to use the volume in your next seminar on Greek and Roman portraiture." -Peter Schultz, Concordia College, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
