Review Quotes: This work succeeds in proving that the wealthy showed off their abundance and power through the objects they collected and the spaces where they and their objects were displayed. It is clearly and often cleverly written. [...] It neatly confirms the importance of interdisciplinary works and should easily find a home with both historians and archaeologists.--SPECULUM
