However, the investigation into the importance, for Pliny, of the images of authors has never been extended to all the art historical chapters contained in the Naturalis Historia. This paper intends to analyse the function of writers\u2019 portraits in the entire book 33-36 of the Naturalis Historia, in order to evaluate in a more complete perspective the artistic and literary values that Pliny the Elder attributes to these artworks, starting from the way he uses them in his discussion on Greek art and artists.<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Pliny the Elder, portraits, writers, philosophers, authors, libraries<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E.
