This book offers a new approach to the history of Greek portraiture by focusing on portraits without names. Comprehensively illustrated, it brings together a wide range of evidence that has never before been studied as a group. Although their identities were certainly known in antiquity, these portraits have lost their names through the accident of preservation. In focusing on a series of images that have been previously ignored, Dillon investigates the range of strategies and modes utilized in these portraits to construct their subject's identity.
