Ancient Portraits from the Athenian Agora
Ancient Portraits from the Athenian Agora | American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Evelyn Byrd Harrison
1 post | 1 read
Although the famous bronze statues seen by the Roman tourist Pausanias have been melted down, the Agora preserves a number of fine portraits in stone. While a few of these are named, most of the portraits in this booklet represent ordinary men and women; priests, athletes, and officials. Referring to over 40 black and white photos, the author discusses hairstyles, clothing and facial expressions to shed light on the individuals depicted.
