51620 images in the database
Within Iconicarchive there are three search options available: the tree search, the free search, and the index search. In addition to the index search, there is an upload index, which shows you the upload time of all images. If you are looking for a paginated overview of all images, open the complete list. Instead, if you want to lay back with a cup of coffee and enjoy all images in their original size, take a look at the random slideshow. If you are lost somehwere, click the arrow icon to go back to the main page of the current picture galery or the header of the page to go back to the mainpage.

Fondation pour le Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (LIMC)
The wealth of ancient myths and legends which we call Classical Mythology is one of the major elements of our cultural heritage. The study of its iconographic representations is the main aim pursued by the Foundation for the LIMC, a foundation of international character, and constituted under Swiss law, that was formed in Geneva in 1972 and has been located in Basel since 1983. Its first task was the preparation and publication of the Lexicon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae (LIMC), completed in 1999. This work has been continued by the Thesaurus Cultus et Rituum Antiquorum (ThesCRA) (2004-2006), focused on the domain of cult and rite.
To be able to reach the goals set by the Foundation, the enterprise has been provided with a suitable infrastructure right from its beginning. Its constituent bodies are as follows:
- the Foundation Council, which is mainly in charge of providing and taking care of the necessary funds as well as the coordination of the executive bodies;
- the International Scientific Committee, which comprises scholars from most of the countries that contribute to the projects of the Foundation by providing scientific material, photographs and texts;
- the Editorial Board, which decides the content of the publications, selects the authors and supervises the intellectual content of their contributions;
- the Central Editorial Office, which is located in Basel, and takes care of the documentation, acquires photographs, prepares the texts for printing and produces the volumes of plates. It is aided by connected editorial offices in Paris, Heidelberg/Würzburg and Athens.

DIANA: Digital Iconographic Atlas of Numismatics in Antiquity

DIANA: Digital Iconographic Atlas of Numismatics in Antiquity
DIANA: Digital Iconographic Atlas of Numismatics in Antiquity
Nowadays, in the field of science of antiquity, there are a lot of digital archives and web applications that allow to display ancient entities and artifacts on digital maps. Entities may include, e.g., gods, abstract personifications, historical personages, etc. Artifacts may include coins, weapons, architecture, etc. In particular, ancient coins represent also out-and-out documents that need to be properly studied and analyzed. From the point of view of numismatics, there are not so many web applications enabling researchers to perform an in-depth analysis of the coin iconography.
Some web solutions make it possible to retrieve data and display the location of ancient mints and coin finds on digital maps, but they do not present codified and detailed descriptions of coin iconographies. The Digital Iconographic Atlas of Numismatics in Antiquity (DIANA) aims to fulfill such a gap. With DIANA it is possible to study both “diachrony” and "diatopy" with a new innovative approach starting from ancient coins. In fact, DIANA is a web application that provides an in-depth analysis of ancient coins specifically considering the details of their iconography, chronology, and the geographical location of their mints. Thanks to this approach, DIANA allows a more detailed study of coin iconographies through time and space than other existing web applications. It is a web platform that allows researchers to analyze the “coin iconography” according to time and space through digital maps. In order to build digital maps, the system uses the Cloud Computing Google Maps Platform as a Service (PaaS). A mint can be searched on DIANA considering a target coin iconography through a web form. By means of AJAX requests, data are retrieved on the DIANA's digital archive and they are sent in XML format to the user's web browser. After that, the web browser processes the received data and it forwards a second AJAX request to the Google Map PaaS that returns a digital map displaying the mint and ancient coins.

IconA Databases: the iconography of Aegean Bronze Age glyptic
IconA Databases: the iconography of Aegean Bronze Age glyptic
The IconAegean Databases
Janice Crowley has created three Databases, IconAegean, IconAData and IconADict, to explore the iconography of Aegean Bronze Age glyptic. The Databases were launched at the Institute for Classical Archaeology at Heidelberg University, the two IconA Databases on Friday 2 May 2014 and the IconAegean Database on 20 June 2016, and they are now freely available on the CMS Website. They are subject only to the usual protocol of acknowledging the source of the information in any research or publication that uses the Databases, in this case CMS Heidelberg and IconAegean.
The IconAegean Database
This Database holds all the seals in the CMS Volumes: 9,181 seals, signets and sealings giving 10,972 designs on seal faces. Each design is shown as a drawing of the impression and described in a standard vocabulary especially created for Aegean glyptic iconography, the IconA Classification. CMS data is also provided. All data may be searched by Key Words across any of the Database fields.It is now possible to order all these seal faces iconographically by sorting on the IconA Code field. Once that sort is performed all the images on the seal faces will be placed in order according to the IconA Classification starting with human figures, stylised humans and human artefacts, then moving through fantastic creations, fauna, sea life and flora, and on through geometric, script and miscellaneous. Users may then click through the Corpus enjoying the collections of similar images as they appear in sequence. This provision for organizing the seal images according to their iconography is a first in Aegean art studies.At present more data is being uploaded into the IconAegean Database in the iconographic and CMS fields. The first three iconographic fields (the Category, Theme and Icon fields) are already complete and may be searched for full results. Searching on other fields will, at present, only give incomplete results. However, use of the Category, Theme and Icon fields will provide a user-friendly access into the iconography of Aegean seals.
The IconAData Database
This Database holds 1000 seal designs especially chosen to illustrate the range of Aegean seal iconography. The choice has been made mostly from the CMS archives but also includes another 7 gold signets. It is set up in the same format as the IconAegean Database.
The IconADict Database
This Database holds the Dictionary of the Key Words including the 590 iconographic terms of the IconA Classification which describe the seal designs. These Key Words are defined and are used to search on the fields in the IconAegean and IconAData Databases. There are also Key Word entries covering the CMS terms, Database explanations for working with FileMaker Pro and Notes to help the User. The 590 Key Words comprising the iconographic terms of the IconA Classification are also discussed in the Author’s Aegaeum 34 Volume, The Iconography of Aegean Seals.

ICAR - Iconographie et Archéologie pour l'Italie préromaine
La base Icar rassemble les objets d'Italie préromaine (étrusque, italique et italiote du VIIIe siècle avant J.-C. jusqu'à l'époque hellénistique) servant de support à une scène figurée.
Elle réunit une abondante documentation iconographique (descriptions, photographies, dessins et gravures modernes) et bibliographique, en mettant l'accent sur le contexte archéologique et artistique, l'histoire des collections et celle des interprétations des scènes figurées. Une présentation des objectifs et des enjeux de la base Icar peut être consultée ici.Trois corpus entiers sont présentés :
ainsi que des fonds complets de documentation graphique d’époque moderne et contemporaine :
- la peinture préromaine : fresques étrusques, campaniennes et apuliennes
- les reliefs archaïques de Chiusi
- les hydries de Cerveteri
Deux modes d'interrogation sont proposés :
- les aquarelles, calques et facsimilés d’Augusto Guido Gatti (premier quart du XXe siècle) pour la Galleria della pittura etrusca in facsimile du Musée archéologique de Florence
- Icar, des scènes figurées de l’Italie préromaine
- IcarDoc, des reproductions illustrant les scènes figurées préromaines
L'entreprise est conçue et dirigée par Natacha Lubtchansky, Professeur à l'Université François-Rabelais de Tours - CeTHiS, la réalisation informatique assurée par Sylvain Mottet et l’Atelier numérique de la Maison des sciences de l’Homme Val de Loire, et l’enregistrement scientifique des données est placé sous la responsabilité d’Annick Fenet, AOROC-ENS-Paris

Viaggio interattivo nelle Metamorfosi di Ovidio
Immagini e testi per una catalogazione informatica come sistema di ricerca
ICONOS nasce da una esigenza di catalogazione iconografica dei soggetti profani - ed in particolare mitologici - nell'ambito degli studi storico-artistici. Riconoscere un determinato soggetto mitologico di un'opera figurativa presuppone una conoscenza non soltanto artistico-visiva, ma anche letteraria. I repertori esistenti forniscono però indicazioni soltanto parziali sulle origini, gli sviluppi e la diffusione di un tema mitografico e raramente collegano tra loro la tradizione iconografica e quella testuale.ICONOS è stato progettato per giungere alla costituzione di un nuovo repertorio mitologico relativo sia alle immagini - per l'arco temporale che va dall'antichità al XVIII secolo - che ai testi: classici, medioevali e rinascimentali. Tale repertorio non si limita però ad avere fini di catalogazione, ma costituisce piuttosto - ed in questo deve cogliersi il suo maggiore punto di forza - una base cognitiva volta a facilitare e stimolare la ricerca in diversi ambiti disciplinari: dall'archeologia alla filologia, dalla letteratura alla storia dell'arte.
