    Spolia divina, ferinae exuviae. Divine genealogy and Imitatio Alexandri
    The plate considers divine or triumphal attributes that first became peculiar elements in Alexander the Great's portraits, and then characterized Hellenistic kings and Roman emperors: the leontè of Herakles, the horns of Ammon and the exuviae elephantis. The plate is divided into three bands and can be read from left to right, following a chronological development that takes also into account the connection model-copy: on the left one can see divine archetypes, in the middle Alexander's portraits, and finally on the right the images of his imitators.
