摘要：This study begins with a study of a Roman statue that decorated the Arco de los Gigantes (the Giants’ Arch) in Antequera (Málaga, Spain) and that represents an infrequently found style of sculpture. The pieces identified belong to a series of hoorific and burial sculptures, dated from the Augustan period to Flavian times. The garment depicted in these statues is identified as an article of clothing, the ricinium , characteristically worn in periods of grieving. This association allows this type of representation to be ascribed to private burial events, representing the widow. Likewise, the type is sometimes associated with honorific representations of public figures during periods of mourning. In these cases, the context and iconographic program in which some of these sculptures appear have allowed them to be associated with Germanicus and the funeral rites decreed in his honour, and we propose an identification with his widow Agrippina Maior , in the monuments erected after the death of her husband during the obligatory tempus lugendi (year of mourning).
