Individual and Group: The Construction of Identity in Imperial Group Portraits
 

 

 

The project aims to document, analyze, and evaluate the use of group portraits as a medium for political discourse during the Roman imperial period. Currently, three work packages are in development:

  1. The production of a monograph focusing on the portrayal of princes in the early imperial era.
  2. A diachronic study to explore the role of group portraits in the political discourse of various societies.
  3. The organization of an exhibition to examine the creation and reception of group portraits.

Together, these components will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the function and significance of group portraits in political communication.
