"...brings a new dimension to the study of Roman portraiture..." -- Elizabeth Bartman, BMCR, 2006. "...a bold inter-disciplinary study that enlists a rich and largely untapped source of evidence for the study of imperial portraints." -- C.H. Hallett, Journal of Roman Studies, 127, 2007.
Reseña del editor
The study of Roman imperial statues has made remarkable strides in the last two decades. Yet the field's understandable focus on extant portraits has made it difficult to generalize accurately. Most notably, bronze was usually the material of choice, but its high scrap value meant that such statues were inevitably melted down, so that almost all surviving statues are of stone. By examining the much larger and more representative body of statue bases, Jakob Munk Hojte is here able to situate the statues themselves in context. This volume includes a catalogue of 2300 known statue bases from more than 800 sites within and without the Roman Empire. Moreover, since it covers a period of 250 years, it allows for the first time consistent geographic, chronological and commemorative patterns to emerge. Hojte finds among other things that imperial portrait statues are connected chiefly with urban centres; that they were raised continuously during a given reign, with a higher concentration a couple years after accession; that a primary purpose was often to advertise a donor's merits; and that they increased sixfold in frequency from Augustus to Hadrian, an increase attributable to community erections. Jakob Munk Hojte is post.doc. and research assistant at the Danish National Research Foundations Centre for Black Sea Studies.

Aarhus University Press, Aarhus, 2005. 658p. ills.(B&W line drawings and photographs). Hard bound. ?H. has collected all the known bases down to the end of the second century A.D., and produced an extensive catalogue, comprising 2,300 monuments form nearly 800 sites (225-685). Single bases are often of relatively little value for the art historian. But a large corpus like this, statistically analyses, can yield vital information for understanding the role of the imperial portrait in ancient life. (?) H. has undertaken a bold inter-disciplinary study that enlists a rich and largely untapped source of evidence, and a useful database (?). Specialists in Roman portraiture and professional epigraphers will doubtless find fault with one aspect or another of H.?s project. But in an age of increasing specialization he is to be commended for having undertaken it at all. For the field to continue to advance, more such studies are needed.? (C.H.
