Summary This volume presents the first English translation of Harald Ingholt's seminal work Studier over Palmyrensk Skulptur together with a number of studies that contextualize this important volume in the light of current research. Almost a century after its publication in 1928 Ingholt's ground-breaking Danish-language monograph remains essential reading for all scholars of Palmyrene archaeology and iconography setting out observations on the typology and style of securely dated Palmyrene portraits and establishing a stylistic and chronological sequence that remains in use today. Included alongside the translation of Ingholt's writings are contributions by leading scholars in the field who seek to introduce Harald Ingholt and explore the impact of his work in Palmyra as well as presenting a survey of all the portraits from Palmyra that can be securely dated by inscription. The translation and commentary have been realized as part of the Palmyra Portrait Project directed by Prof. Rubina Raja.

Palmyrene Sarcophagi

réf. 63525Brepols 2023. Hardback 2 vols 1003 pages Size:216 x 280 mm Illustrations:722 b/w 95 col. 1 tables b/w. 2 maps b/w 9 maps color Language: English. ISBN 9782503604664. Summary While the funerary portraiture of Palmyra is rightly world-renowned up to now the corpus of sarcophagi from the ancient city has received relatively little attention as a cohesive group in their own right. Comprising sarcophagi banqueting reliefs and founder reliefs as well as sarcophagus reliefs most of these objects share a common iconographic motif that of the banquet although other scenes mostly drawn from the daily life of the city's caravan leaders and their families also appear. The emphasis on the banqueting scene in particular reveals the crucial importance of dining in ancient Palmyrene society: for the living banquets were a marker of social standing and gave hosts a chance to honour the gods and offer an ephemeral benefaction to their fellow citizens while for the dead the banquet motif offered the opportunity for the entire family to be depicted together and showcase their wealth and sophistication as well as their connections outside the city. This single corpus of material gathered through the Palmyra Portrait Project is presented in this beautifully illustrated two-volume monograph. Through careful analysis of the portraits and the costumes and attribute choices that appear in these images the authors explore how the sarcophagi were used by Palmyrenes to project an image of local pride while at the same time participating in the visual cultures of the Roman and Parthian Empires between which their city was situated.
