"Mimesis and More: The Polychromy of Greek and Roman Marble Portraits"
Today the "realism" of the white marble portraits that survive from Greek and Roman antiquity is frequently associated with their highly detailed physiognomy and apparent specificity, which suggest a relationship to an individual subject. In antiquity, of course, the engaging and often arresting appearance of these sculpted images was defined in so small part by their nuanced lifelike painting and rich polychrome detailing. Although now most of the painting and other forms of polychromy that defined these images in antiquity is lost to us, detailed examination increasingly allows us to glimpse vestiges of ancient polychromy and thereby how the visual language of portraits was defined not by form alone but in combination styles of coloration varying from lifelike naturalism to sumptuous radiance. This talk presents case studies of marble portraits - royal, imperial, and private - with extant polychromy that, upon close examination, elucidate the definition and meanings of their subjects in antiquity.

Sat., Mar. 17
BOSTON UNIVERSITY, 745 Commonwealth Ave, Room 414. Boston, MA 02215
The Boston University Department of Classical Studies is excited to announce that registration is now OPEN for the 10th Annual Boston University Classical Studies Graduate Conference: "Identity Under Empire: Defining the Self Under the Cultural Hegemony of the Athenian, Macedonian, and Roman Empires" to be held on Saturday, March 17th, 2018.
Be sure to register by Friday, March 9th.
This year's conference examines the question of regional, national, religious, artistic, and ethnic identity under the Graeco-Roman empires of antiquity. With papers from students of Classical Studies across the country, this year's conference approaches a number of different perspectives on different issues of "identity" in the ancient world. Three panels take approaches to different categories of ancient identities: from identity in Greek and Roman cults, to identity politics of Judaism and Christianity in the ancient world, to slavery, provincial identity, and material culture in Greece and Rome.
This year's keynote speaker, BU alumnus and Hofstra professor Steven Smith, will cap off our conference with his paper entitled ""A Question of Breeding: Aelian, Aristotle, and Alexander the Great in India (De natura animalium 8.1)".
