Ancient Portraits from the Athenian Agora

Although the famous bronze statues seen by the Roman tourist Pausanias have been melted down, the Agora preserves a number of fine portraits in stone.

Referring to over 40 black and white photos, the author discusses hairstyles, clothing and facial expressions to shed light on the individuals depicted.Harrison, Evelyn B. is the author of 'Ancient Portraits from the Athenian Agora' with ISBN 9780876616055 and ISBN 0876616058.
