Aphrodisias: A Guide to the Site and Its Museum Kenan T.Erim

Aphrodisias received limited attention in ancient literature, but was an important site patronized by Augustus and his family (who claimed descent from the patron goddess). This city is located near fine marble quarries and became a center of sculptures. From the surviving material the existence of a school of sculpture has been detected. these remains also allow one to learn much about artistic technique and craft.Note that the goddess is, like Ephesian Artemis, an ancient figure of broad powers. Her statue reveals a stiff garment with various registers. She was not only the goddess of love.This is a useful guide with fine illustrations to an interesting (and on-going) site.Издательство: Net Turistik YayinlarАвтор: Kenan T.Erim Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Aphrodisias: A Guide to the Site and Its Museum (Kenan T.Erim)
