Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
There is in Delphi a votive statue - representing a man affected with phtisis - which is said to have been dedicated by Hippocrates himself. A little bronze found in Soissons could refer to the legend of Perdiccas' love sickness. We draw a parallel between Perdiccas' bronze and a mosaique in Lambiridi. Others representations (portraits, coins, statues of rickety children and iconographies of the Old Age) of weak and thin bodies are here studied following a medical approach. |
