Roman bronze head identification

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"

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.

 

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://www.tesorillo.com/aes/_anv/index4i.htm

 

Good luck,
