This book brings together specialists in both the image and its archaeological context and in ancient religions in Egypt, Greece and Rome. The objective is to highlight not only the function and purpose of the representation of the gods, but also the rules and logic that govern its construction and visual organization. Starting from specific files, it is therefore a question of studying the practical modalities of creation of divine images, of questioning the ambiguous status of certain staged images and of examining how these "scenographies" are called upon to evolve.
