Inez Ryberg was a challenging and revered teacher who inspired many students to choose scholarly careers. While fostering a distinguished classics program at Vassar she played a leadership role in numerous professional organizations, including, of course, the APA and the AAR. Her contributions in her principal fields of Roman religion, art, and archaeology are many and lasting. Above all, Rites of the State Religion in Roman Art is a work of basic and comprehensive scholarship which remains a point of reference for scholars in many fields. Her philological works, though fewer, have also proved of enduring value, in particular the 1927 monograph on Juvenal and the 1943 TAPA article on Tacitus.
