The Visual Rhetoric of the Married Laity in Late Antiquity

The Visual Rhetoric of the Married Laity in Late Antiquity

Iconography, the Christianization of Marriage, and Alternatives to the Ascetic Ideal

Contenu

This study examines third- and fourth-century portraits of married Christians and associated images, reading them as visual rhetoric in early Christian conversations about marriage and celibacy, and recovering lay perspectives underrepresented in literary sources.
