Roman herms and stone male heads from Emona
Pre-Roman artistic culture or provincial art?
Abstract
The collection of Roman free-standing sculptures from Emona and its ager includes seven herms and stone male heads with enough common characteristics to be considered jointly. The sculptures, in terms of the style and quality of production, are related to the funerary steles with portraits from the Ig area. The article draws attention to the problem of interpreting and evaluating these monuments, which can be seen either as a result of pre-Roman/Celtic influences or as a typical product of provincial art made for an undemanding customer and audience.
Keywords: Emona, Roman period, Roman sculpture, herms, stone male heads, Celtic influences, Roman provincial art
