In The Egyptian Elite as Roman Citizens Giorgia Cafici offers the
analysis of private, male portrait sculptures as attested in Egypt
between the end of the Ptolemaic and the beginning of the Roman
Period. Ptolemaic/Early Roman portraits are examined using a
combination of detailed stylistic evaluation, philological analysis
of the inscriptions and historical and prosopographical
investigation of the individuals portrayed. The emergence of this
type of sculpture has been contextualised, both geographically and
chronologically, as it belongs to a wider Mediterranean horizon.
The analysis has revealed that eminent members of the Egyptian
elite decided to be represented in an innovative way, echoing the
portraits of eminent Romans of the Late Republic, whose identity
was surely known in Egypt.
