About this book

Die höchste Ehre, die ein römischer BĂŒrger sich erhoffen konnte, war eine PortrĂ€tstatue auf dem Forum seiner Stadt. WĂ€hrend der Kaiser und hohe Senatsbeamte regelmĂ€ĂŸig mit solchen Statuen geehrt wurden, war die Konkurrenz unter den WohltĂ€tern der StĂ€dte um diese Ehrung groß: ging es doch um nicht weniger, als die Erinnerung an den geehrten Patron und seine Familie ĂŒber Generationen hin öffentlich zu verkĂŒnden und zu verewigen. Zwar gab es viele Möglichkeiten, sich eine PortrĂ€tstatue zu verdienen; die lokalen Honoratioren mussten jedoch oft bis nach ihrem Tod warten, bevor ihre Hoffnung darauf von der Öffentlichkeit erfĂŒllt wurde. Jane Fejfer weist zum ersten Mal nach, wie grundsĂ€tzlich unser VerstĂ€ndnis und unsere Wahrnehmung von römischen PortrĂ€tstatuen erweitert werden, wenn wir folgende Faktoren einer systematischen Analyse unterziehen: den historischen Kontext, die ursprĂŒngliche Aufstellung, die Entsehungsbedingungen von Herstellung und Stil – und den Sockel, auf dem in vielen FĂ€llen ein Text angebracht war, der die suggestive Wirkung des Bildes durch eine eigene Rhetorik ergĂ€nzte.
