History

Course Objective

The Roman portrait art began to develop on a solid surface from the 3rd century BCE. Outstanding works were demonstrated by a high level of success towards the 3th century CE. In such success, the realist approach was a decisive and distinctive factor. Portraiture has manifested itself in many diverse areas. In Roman imperialist politics, especially starting from Augustus, it became a powerful propaganda tool. Similarly, it was one of the effective ways that the elite ruling classes in the provinces used to introduce themselves to the public. Through the portraits of Roman imperial period, the daily life, fashion styles, politics and cultural perspectives of the time can be perceived. In this context, the aim of the course is to follow the development line of the Roman imperial portrait art and to examine its use in political and social fields.
