@article{2017,title={CAPPADOCIAN PORTRAITS OF LATE HELLENISTIC PERIOD: THE ARIOBARZANES DYNASTY},abstractNode={This study focuses on the portraits of Ariobarzanes Dynasty in Cappadocia in the 1st century BC. It aims to present the development of the regional portrait art in this period known as Late Hellenistic or Late Roman Republic by evaluating it in terms of both Cappadocia and the period. As there is no Cappadocian sculpture surviving to the day, the coin portraits belonging to the four kings of Ariobarzanes Dynasty were used as the source. Thanks to the coins which are as detailed as a work of sculpture, Ariobarzanes Dynasty of the Cappadocian kingdom portraits are revealed. The resulting data is important to evaluate the portraits’ representation of the period and to determine the regional portraiture influenced by the political developments, which will also be beneficial for Late Hellenistic sculpture.},author={Meral HAKMAN},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
