This volume includes the twenty-four presentations by Greek and foreign speakers from the third international conference titled "Roman Sculpture in Greece: New Discoveries and New Research" that took place in Athens in December 2019. This was preceded by the conference in 2009 in Thessaloniki titled "Classical Tradition and Modern Elements in the Sculpture of Roman Greece" and the 2014 conference in Rethymno titled "Sculpture and Society in Roman Greece: Artistic Products, Social Projections".
The continuation of organizing conferences and publishing their proceedings stems from the organizers' belief in the necessity of a systematic engagement with the sculpture of this specific period in the Greek context. The thematic focus of the presentations at the third conference was the presentation of new findings, which were organized geographically (Athens, Attica, Peloponnese, Euboea, Cyclades, Crete, Thessaly, Macedonia), while studies of a general and supra-regional character have been included at the end.
The internal classification is based on the type of sculptures. "Marble and Style: Permanent or Selective Relationship?", "Portraits of Distinguished Athenians of the Late Third Century AD", "The Sculptural Decoration of the Royal Portico in Thera", "The Imperial Presence in Larissa Through Sculptures and Inscriptions", "Funerary Monuments of Thessaloniki: Misattributed and Contested Attributions", "Two Marble Statues from the Temple of Isis at Stobi" are some of the titles of the presentations.
Dimitris Damaskos is a professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Patras. Pavlina Karanastasi is a professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Crete. Theodosia Stefanidou-Tiveriou is an emeritus professor of Classical Archaeology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
