Statues and Cities: Honorific Portraits and Civic Identity in the Hellenistic World - Oxford Studies in Ancient Culture Representation
Ma, John (Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History, Corpus Christi College, Oxford)
This book combines archaeology and epigraphy to discuss portraits in ancient art within the context of city-states honouring individuals through erecting statues, and families imitating this practice. This tells us a lot about the history of these cities and how ancient art worked as a construction of relations during the Hellenistic period.
