Ancient Portraits from the Athenian Agora Paperback / softback

Part of the Agora Picture Book series

Paperback / softback

Description

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.
