Research output: ThesisDoctoral Thesis (monograph)

Abstract

The Great Trajanic Frieze is a Monument firmly entranched in the tradition of Graeco-Roman art.The study of the different components of its imagery, such as composition, iconography and antiquarian details, reveals how it transmits and transforms this tradition. The imagery reveals itself as conscentiously structured to present and repeat a limited set of concepts to the viewer.
The book also presents a comprehensive presentation of the monument, coupled with a close study of the stone work
