SUMMARY
One of the best known sculpture schools of the Roman period flourished in Aphrodisias. Works from the city’s artistic workshops found themselves scattered in various parts of the Roman Empire. The most characteristic of these decorated the public buildings of the city such as the theatre, the porticoes of the agora and the Sebasteion. In the production of portrait busts, the school of Aphrodisias is distinguishable for its chronological continuation and duration, from the end of the 1st century BC to the end of the 5th century AD. |
