Royal portraits in sculpture and coins : Pyrrhos and the successors of Alexander the Great / Blanche R. Brown

by Blanche Brown

This study analyses a marble portrait head of King Pyrrhos of Epeiros to explore Hellenistic portraiture from c. 305 to 280 B.C. By comparing coins and sculptures, it provides a stylistic and historical context for royal portraits of the Successor period.

brief_description
This book begins with a specific problem: the date, style, and iconography of a marble portrait head identified as Pyrrhos, King of Epeiros. Largely by collating with portraits on coins, the head is defined stylistically - dated c.305/304 - c.280 B.C., when the Successors ruled as kings - and confirmed as Pyrrhos. -- dust jacket.
