To see and/or to be seen
04 Pubblicazione in atti di convegno
The paper analyses the physical and ideological use of sight in Ebla, during public ceremonies of kingship both in the third and in the second millennium BC. In the author's opinion, the use of sight, which was in part "natural" and in part ideologically created, was used in order to enhance the concept of kingship, the perception of roles in society and the feeling of appurtenance at different levels in all the participants.
