Document Details : Title: Mourir et ressusciter. Un monosandalos Gallo-Romain et ses succeseurs Subtitle: Une représenation unique dans une série unique accompagnée et soutenue par des motifs de nature variable Author(s): DE LOOS-DIETZ, Eliz P. Journal: BABESCH Volume: 76 Date: 2001 Pages: 159-192 DOI: 10.2143/BAB.76.0.84 Abstract : A real person, a man called Bellicus, represented as a monosandalos, is discussed in this article. What does this kind of representation mean for a real person? Previously it was thought to represent an illness of the foot, but recent research revealed an other story. The monosandalos often shown on a funeral monument is in transition to an other situation. This is proofed in a parallel with Ancient Egyptian representations of Tutanchamun and his wife Anchesenamun as monosandaloi on their tomb. The author tries to uncover the precise meaning of this phenomenon in the Gallo-Roman world. |
