The book examines how portraits from Greek and Roman antiquity gave visual form to notions of a person’s personal characteristics and make them permanent. Three aspects are examined in the interweaving of case studies and general reflections: the preconditions for the creation of portraits; the medial conditions of the creation processes; the efficacy of the created form.
