Female Portrait Statuary in Roman-period Athens: The epigraphic and sculptural evidence
Female portrait statuary forms a large and important category of evidence for understanding the historical phenomenon of the visual representation and commemoration of women in the public spaces of the Greek city.

While portraits of women begin to be set up in Athens in the early fourth century B.C., the ch…
Portrait Statues of Women on the Island of Delos
The island of Delos offers a rich array of epigraphic, archaeological, and sculptural evidence for portrait statues of women, particularly in the late Hellenistic/late Republican period. This chapter focuses on the period after 167/6bce, when the island was under Athenian control and as a free port attracted Italian businessmen and traders.

Figured Pilaster Capitals from Aphrodisias

The focus of the study is two groups of figured capitals from two structures in the city. The first group of four capitals, decorated with figures of deities, comes from a large and lavishly appointed Late Roman house, in which they formed part of the marble wall decoration of a large apsidal hall. Comparison…
