Popis This Article is intended as a reflection – based on one particular case – on the role of the mimetic portrait in the fifth century, and on the notion of "original" versus "copy". Given the theme of this conference, I will obviously concentrate on portraits with a mnemonic function. Inevitably, however, the debate will also touch on the question of the portrait in general. Through the examples studied here, I will also try to respond to a question which, to me, seems to be one of the central questions surrounding the portrait in late antiquity: to what extent are the formal choices determined by rhetorical considerations? And more generally, what is the impact of oratory on figurative style?
