Termini ante quos: Bronze statuary from Late Hellenistic shipwrecks
Five shipwrecks dated to ca. 150-50 B.C. comprised – among other commodities – bronze statuary. In a few other cases, fragmentary statues have been found out of context, as a result of pillage or, less often, of mercantile transactions. Bronzes were very popular to Roman and other western aristocrat...

Cinq épaves datant de la période 150-50 avant J.-C. comportaient, parmi d’autres biens, de la statuaire en bronze. Dans quelques autres cas, des fragments de statues ayant fait l’objet de pillages ou, plus rarement, de transactions commerciales ont été trouvés hors contexte. Les bronzes étaient très en vogue auprès de l’élite aristocratique et des entrepreneurs de Rome et des contrées occidentales car ils étaient considérés comme l’idéal des fastes de la décoration des villas de campagne et de bord de mer. Les cargaisons de bronze témoignent de la faveur et de la circulation de ces œuvres d’art. La datation de ces épaves exceptionnelles, fondée sur l’examen de l’ensemble des trouvailles que le bateau transportait, offre un terminus ante quem pour la date de fabrication des bronzes qu’elles renferment. Étant donné que la production des bronzes de grand et de petit format repose essentiellement sur les mêmes procédés, l’étude des pratiques et des techniques de fabrication des bronzes provenant d’épaves peut donc fournir d’utiles critères chronologiques pour la datation des répliques de bronze. |
