Beskrivelse
This monograph delves into Roman sarcophagi, exploring how these stone coffins serve as visual tributes to the deceased. It highlights the use of allegories to intertwine personal histories with mythological and idealized stories.
An insightful study on interpreting Roman sarcophagi and understanding gender representation in their imagery.
The book situates itself within a well-established tradition that views sarcophagi as expressive monuments of the dead, using allegorical imagery to connect individual lives and memories with broader mythological and idealized narratives.
Focusing primarily on Roman sarcophagi-often called stadtrömisch due to the strong influence of German scholars in this field-the work aims to achieve two main goals.
First, it offers a method for reading Roman sarcophagi, beginning with those that feature portraits, and extends this approach to enhance the general study of sarcophagi.
Second, the book examines how gender values are depicted through these images, exploring ways to identify the individual within standardized iconographic conventions.
