Des portraits égypto-Romaines ''anonymes'' identifies leurs secteurs à partir les bijoux

الملخص EN

Many of the paintings discovered in Egypt date back to the Roman era with unknown sources, because they were taken from unauthorized excavations, so they did not have any official documents.

those portraits dating back to the roman era-from the first century to the fourth century ad-had different artistic characteristics from those of previous periods, combining the function of masks made of cardboard at the ancient Egyptians to protect the deceased, and the role of roman funerary memorial images.

some researchers believe that the images were painted during a person's life and were kept in the home until his death, and then were used in their funeral works.

the painting of those portraits spread widely in roman times, more precisely those wrongly known as "portraits of Fayum", in the same way in roman times, also in Rome from the first century BC, which became popular throughout the roman empire.

the artists painted these portraits on various materials, such as wood, linen, and a plaster mask made of cardboard or plaster that was then covered with mummy strips.

in addition, they used various techniques on wood, sometimes painted or plastered.

what distinguishes these images are the decorations, hairstyles and clothing influenced by roman fashion.

therefore, this research aims to explore the locations of the discoveries of these portraits through a deep study of the ornaments of portraits of known source from different regions.
