A google images search, undertaken for other reasons, gave me a sudden picture of the people of Antinoupolis. Here it is:
Fascinating to see, isn’t it?
I suppose some of them are from elsewhere in the Fayoum; but even so, this is a fascinating collection of people!
I’m never too old to learn new things. Here I was thinking at the ‘Fayoum’ portraits only came from Fayoum. A quick check revealed it is just a generic name. You post a nice selection of the portraits.
Thanks Roger.
I thought so too. But the cemetery at Antinoupolis apparently produced many more.
I was never aware of that, either – how wonderful they are, thank you!
