Beschreibung
This work collects and analyses Roman copies of classical and Hellenistic statuary types found in what was the Roman province of Macedonia. It focuses on the material evidence (free-standing marble and bronze sculptures, relief sculptures and terracottas) from all areas of the province to investigate the phenomenon of copies in all of its manifestations in private, public, sacred and funerary contexts. The chronological limits of the research extend from the Roman conquest and the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC, until the Severan age. The material gives a picture of the tastes and trends of the society of the territory and also the religious, economic and political dynamics of which it is the reflection. The importance of studying copies for understanding the artistic culture of the provinces of the Roman Empire has been highlighted in recent years. However, no research has been conducted for Thessaloniki and Macedonia, although this important province was the centre of an old and flourishing artistic tradition. This book provides a starting point towards filling this gap.
