{"product_id":"depicting-the-dead-stine-birk-9788771240184","title":"Depicting the Dead: Self-Representation and Commemoration on Roman Sarcophagi with Portraits","description":"The present monograph takes its place in a now well-established tradition of seeing sarcophagi as visual statements of deceased individuals that used allegories to plot lives and personal memories against mythological and other idealised narratives. It focuses on Roman sarcophagi, often referred to as stadtrömisch, which reflects the fact that the field has traditionally been dominated by German scholars. The aim of the book is twofold: Firstly, it is an exploration of how to read Roman sarcophagi, which starts from those with portraits, but which can contribute more broadly to the study of sarcophagi in general. Secondly, this book investigates gender values as represented through images and how to locate the individual in standardised iconography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stine Birk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8771240187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788771240184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aarhus University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 8.50w x 1.20d","brand":"Stine Birk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440413159679,"sku":"9788771240184","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfa4c672-eecf-49ca-a490-fd20be48e8c1.jpg?v=1777182281","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/depicting-the-dead-stine-birk-9788771240184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
