The present second fascicle of CSIR Flavia Solva (CSIR Austria IV /
2) treats like the corresponding volume for Virunum (Austria CSIR
II / 2) the free standing portrait medallions and portrait niches
originally belonging to grave monuments from the territory of the
Municipium Flavia Solva (Wagna bei Leibnitz, Styria). Deviating
from previous practice it was tried to treat the monuments portrait
medallions and portrait niches apart from each other in
chronological order and to discuss the reasons for the respective
date for every single monument in detail. The portrait
representations from Flavia Solva are as already for some time has
been recognised a group of monuments from Roman times of
extraordinary quality from the area of today's Styria. Datings on
stylistic base following the example of the city-Roman portraits
nevertheless can only seldom be given. The datings are based
primarily on antiquarian bases hairstyle and beard as well as
garment. The opinion that the portrait representations break off
after the wars against the Marcomanni as the older research had
thought is by no means right, as in any case during the whole 3rd
cent. A. D. until the beginning of the 4th cent. A.D. the
development of portraits can be pursued continously. The attempt to
ascertain workshops for the preserved monuments 2,5-5% of the
originally available gravestones is difficult, however, it could be
undertaken on account of the suitable preliminary works for the
group of the late portraits.
