Verity Platt is writing a book on Graeco-Roman intaglios, which brings together visual, literary and philosophical evidence in order to relate the form, function and application of ancient seal-stones to their broader cultural reception, focusing on the object's self-replicatory power and the appropriation of the sealing metaphor in Hellenistic epistemology and aesthetics.
