Jarlabanke Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Dear all, I'am looking for literature on Roman bronze head sculptures; how to identify a head and perhaps uses of them to. Quite basic. If anyone have a tip I'll gladly accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yuo may want to look out a lecture by Cambridge based Classicist Mary Beard which this article reviews in which she discusses some of the difficulties with identifying ancient statues/ bronze heads. The lecture itself is "Mistaken Identities: How to identify a Roman emperor" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone have a tip I'll gladly accept it. Certainly watch the link above of Mary Beard's lecture "Mistaken Identities: How to Identify a Roman Emperor." Ultimately, however, the numismatic evidence may be the most important tool for emperor identification. I like these two sites for emperor identification: http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/i.html http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/_anv/index4i.htm Good luck, guy also known as gaius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevefrank Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 If we see natural sculptures, natural means "roman empires times sculptures". You can found in Britain. That's very oldest in roman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
