Altera Roma : art and empire from the Aztecs to New Spain [videorecording] / [symposium sponsored by the J. Paul Getty Museum].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/636061903

This symposium, "Altera Roma: art and empire from the Aztecs to New Spain," was presented in conjunction with the exhibition "The Aztec Pantheon and the Art of Empire," on exhibit at the Getty Villa from March 24 to July 5, 2010. The symposium considers one of history's most momentous confrontations, an encounter between two cultures, European and Mesoamerican, and two empires, Spanish and Aztec. In unexpected yet significant ways, this conflict was also a meeting ground between Mexico and the ancient Mediterranean. Through lectures and discussion, distinguished international scholars examine the contexts in which classicism mediated a dialogue between Mesoamerica and Europe in the 1500s-1700s, when parallels were routinely drawn between the Old World past and the pre-Hispanic cultures of the New World. Speakers address cross-cultural analogies in the early modern period, as well as current comparative approaches to the archaeology of empire.
