• John North Hopkins and Scott McGill: Introduction Kenneth Lapatin: Prologue: Ideas of Forgery 1: Christopher H. Hallett: 'Corinthian Bronzes': Miniature Masterpieces - Flagrant Forgeries 2: Joseph A. Howley: Reading Against the Grain: Book Forgery and Book Labor at Rome 3: Lawrence Kim: Imperial Greek Atticism: A Culture of Forgery? Phrynicus and the Terminology of 'Authenticity' 4: Irene Peirano Garrison: Forgery, Pseudepigrapha, and Other Typologies of Continuation in Latin Literature 5: Carolyn Higbie: The Fluidity of False Coins 6: Kathryn A. Langenfeld: Ancient Texts and Sibylline Truths: A Reflection on Forged Documentary Evidence and its Value in the Historia Augusta 7: Frederic Clark: Thinking with Antiquity's Ancient Beginnings: The "First Pagan Historian" from Isidore of Seville to Thomas Jefferson 8: Jacqueline M. Burek: Forgery and the Desire for the Classical Author in the Pseudo-Ovidian De vetula 9: Talia Di Manno: Archaeology and the Invention of Holy Bodies in Post-Tridentine Rome 10: Sascha Kansteiner: Deceptively Authentic Additions 11: Elizabeth Bartman: Is Restoration Forgery? 12: Sean Alexander Gurd: Fictional Forgeries and the Twilight of the Self: The Tablets of Armand Schwerner and Pascale Quignard Jeffrey Collins: Epilogue: Beyond Deceit and Beyond: Situating Scholarship on Forgery List of illustrations Bibliography

Across this collection there are many points of connection, nuanced arguments, and fascinating details. Desire appears in almost every chapter, as generative, intensifying, or destructive. And while the Epilogue reiterates many of the themes discussed here, Collins draws an especially salient point from the contributions: forgery is in so many of these chapters linked to vitality. "Ancient Rome, real and forged, is very much alive". Like the forgeries which it explores, this volume demonstrates that the field of forgery studies is thriving.
