Roman portrait statues, famed for their individuality, repeatedly employed the same body forms. This book examines the 'Large Herculaneum Woman' statue type, a draped female body common in the second century CE and surviving in about two hundred examples, to demonstrate how sameness helped to communicate a woman's social identity.
