Abstract:
In 1996, the new University excavation at Philippi uncovered a portrait head of a bearded middle-aged man sculpted in white, probably Thasian, mar ble. It is in very good condition and may be dated to the mid-2nd century AD. It may be compared with portraits of the Antoninian period from Greece, Asia Minor, Cyrene, and the West. It has much in common with a portrait in the Louvre, which also probably comes from Greece and must date to the same period. The subject was probably an official of the city, and this portrait of him would have been displayed on some public building. Other copies of the work probably existed. The workshop, finally, must have been in northern Greece, and there was very likely a workshop at Philippi itself, for sculpture in the city flourished particularly in the centuries that followed.
