Bust of Arcadius

I know the caption says it's stylized but it's also very distinctive, I wonder how lifelike it is? Middle More Rider (talk) 09:28, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Also related to the bust, it says "new hieratic style." The only references to "hieratic style" I could find had to do with ancient Egyptian writing. Is this also a Roman sculptural style? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.176.191.150 (talk) 23:00, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Wiktionary informs me that “hieratic” is derived from the Greek word for “priest” or “sacred”. It is mainly associated with Egyptian priests and the script in which they composed their texts, but it can also be used to describe art that is “extremely stylized, restrained or formal; adhering to fixed types or methods”.

For those wondering, the above conversation was related to an image caption which no longer appears in the article. I don’t know how such things work, but this section can probably be deleted or archived as obsolete. ManuelKomnenos (talk) 17:59, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
