Jarlabanke 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melvadius 4 Report post 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" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
