Book Synopsis Royal Greek Portrait Coins by : Edward Theodore Newell
Download or read book Royal Greek Portrait Coins written by Edward Theodore Newell and published by . This book was released on 1937 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The peculiarly splendid portrait coinages of the Hellenistic monarchs are deservedly becoming more and more popular with collectors of ancient coins. These issues possess one outstanding characteristic which no autonomous coinage can hope to rival, and which renders the former of the utmost interest and importance to collectors, archaeologists and historians. They present us with an extraordinary series of living portraits--portraits of a quality such as only a Greek artist could produce. These men and women, be they famous or obscure, or even quite unknown to history, live again before our very eyes. Their several characters, their greatness and their foibles, grow tangible and real to us once more...This little book has not been produced with the advanced student or collector in mind; nor does it make any pretense at completeness. It is primarily intended to call the attention of collectors in general to the fascinating portrait coinages of the ancience kings"--

Book Synopsis Hellenistic Royal Portraits by : R. R. R. Smith
Download or read book Hellenistic Royal Portraits written by R. R. R. Smith and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1988 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The visual image of the ruler, particularly in sculpture, played an important role in expressing the character of the new, distinctive style of monarchy brought to Greece and the East by Alexander and the Hellenistic kings. Royal portraits survive on coins and in sculpture, and we read about them in inscriptions and literature - evidence that is here combined to give an historical interpretation of the royal image from Alexander to Kleopatra. Part I looks at the historical setting of royal portrait statues, which functioned as an important medium of exchange between the king and the Greek cities. They gave a visual presentation of royal ideology and expressed the basis of the king's power in a personal godlike charisma. Part II collects together and analyses the major surviving portraits, grouped broadly by time and place, and Part III sets them in the wider political context of the period. The dated coin portraits are used to show broad changes in the royal image and howit responded to the major political challenges from Parthia to the East and Rome to the West.

Book excerpt: The sheer wealth and dizzying diversity of Indian sculpture are celebrated in this second volume of the catalogue raisonne of the Los Angeles County Museum's collection. Nearly two hundred sculptures produced during eleven centuries are described. Of these, one-quarter of the pieces are part of the Nasli and Alice Heeramaneck Collection, while the remaining three-quarters have been acquired since 1970. This splendid collection, while not representing all the major styles of sculpture that flourished on the Indian subcontinent from 700-1900, is certainly one of the most comprehensive among American and European museums. Included are stone, metal, ivory, and wood sculptures from fourteen states and territories of India and from Pakistan and Afghanistan. Organized by regions--Central and Western, Eastern, and Southern India, and the Northwest--the catalogue contains detailed descriptions and illustrations of the 188 sculptures, many with details or multiple views, for a total of 259 illustrations--251 in duotone and halftone and 8 in color.

Download or read book Julia Augusta written by Tracene Harvey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julia Augusta examines the socio-political impact of coin images of Augustus’s wife, Livia, within the broader context of her image in other visual media and reveals the detailed visual language that was developed for the promotion of Livia as the predominant female in the Roman imperial family. The book provides the most comprehensive examination of all extant coins of Livia to date, and provides one of the first studies on the images on Roman coins as gender-infused designs, which created a visual dialogue regarding Livia’s power and gender-roles in relation to those of male members of the imperial family. While the appearance of Roman women on coins was not entirely revolutionary, having roughly coincided with the introduction of images of powerful Roman statesmen to coins in the late 40s BCE, the degree to which Livia came to be commemorated on coins in the provinces and in Rome was unprecedented. This volume provides unique insights into the impact of these representations of Livia, both on coins and in other visual media. Julia Augusta: Images of Rome’s First Empress on the Coins of the Roman Empire will be of great interest to students of women and imperial imagery in the Roman Empire, as well as the importance of visual representation and Roman imperial ideology.
