Med ohranjenimi spomeniki rimske oble plastike iz Emone in njenega agra najdemo sedem primerkov herm in kamnitih moških glav, ki imajo veliko skupnih lastnosti in so bili zato v literaturi obravnavani kot enotna skupina. Omenjeni kipi so po slogu in kvaliteti izdelave sorodni ižanskim nagrobnim spomenikom, na katerih so upodobljena portretna doprsja. Članek opozarja na problem interpretacije in vrednotenja omenjenih spomenikov, ki jih lahko razlagamo bodisi kot rezultat predrimskih/keltskih vplivov bodisi kot značilen proizvod provincialne umetnosti, namenjen nezahtevnemu naročniku in občinstvu.The collection of Roman free-standing sculptures from Emona and its ager includes seven herms and stone male heads with enough common characteristics to be considered jointly. The sculptures, in terms of the style and quality of production, are related to the funerary steles with portraits from the Ig area. The article draws attention to the problem of interpreting and evaluating these monuments, which can be seen either as a result of pre-Roman/Celtic influences or as a typical product of provincial art made for an undemanding customer and audience
