Kommentar til Thorvaldsens lille sølvhoved – et ruineret Tondoportræt
[The author’s note in the text] This is shown by, among other things, the discussion of the golden bust of “Marcus Aurelius” found in Avenches (Aventicum) in Switzerland, which has recently been identified as a portrait of Julianus Apostata, see J.Ch. Balty, ‘Le prétendu Marc-Aurele d’Avenches’ Eikones. Festschrift H. Jucker, Bern 1980, p. 57-63. On miniature imperial portraits, see B. Schneider, Studien zu den kleinformatigen Kaiserportraits (Diss.), Munich 1976. Director Dr. E. Künzl, Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum in Mainz, is preparing a study of imperial portraits in precious metals based on two miniature portraits in silver of emperors from about 300 A.D., which are located in the museum in Mainz.
