Synopsis

Explore the visual history of Rome through its most renowned figures. This edition presents a focused look at famous Romans, their roles, and the statues that preserved their memory across cities and centuries.



Framed as the first part of a larger Iconographie Romaine, it gathers portraits from ancient kings to the empire, with notes on how public monuments and inscriptions shaped memory. The text explains the mix of myth and fact in early Roman legend, and how discoveries from sites like Herculanum enrich our understanding of these figures and their time.




  • Structured chapters that map notable people by era and role, from the founding to imperial times.

  • Detailed discussion of statues, busts, and reliefs, including how inscriptions and portraits were presented.

  • Context on civic monuments in towns and municipes, and what those honors signified for public memory.

  • Editorial notes that highlight sources, art techniques, and interpretive nuances for scholars and general readers alike.



Ideal for readers of classical history, Roman art, and monumental sculpture who want a clear, camera-ready view of how memory is built in stone and bronze.
