ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The depiction of cities in the form of persons is characteristic mainly of the Hellenistic era. This practice was also widespread during the Roman period, when apart from the cities whole provinces begun being personified, for reasons related to the political propaganda of the era. The most usual depiction of cities was in the form of Tyche or an Amazon, while provinces were usually represented as deities or simple women. |
