| Description |
English:
A bust of an
unknown citizen
in the realist republican tradition.
The bust has previously been thought to be Emperor Galba and alternatively as Lucius Calpurnius Piso or Crassus , however these identifications remain speculative and debatable. The academic consensus is that the date is late Republican (1st C. BC). Refer to:
The bust is in the Louvre collection and the catalogue entry states:
Français :
Inconnu Environs de l'ère chrétienne Marbre H. : 26 cm. Ce portrait dont il existe plusieurs copies antiques fut identifié successivement comme la représentation de l'empereur Galba (68 - 69 après J.-C.) et celle du pontife Lucius Calpurnius Piso. Il s'agit d'un simple citoyen dont les traits rendus avec réalisme prouvent le maintien de la tradition républicaine à l'époque impériale dans le portrait privé.
