Summary
Description Cleopatra VII, marble, Vatican Museums, Pius-Clementine Museum, Room of the Greek Cross.jpg |
English:
A marble statue presumably portraying Cleopatra VII of Ptolemaic Egypt; the body of the statue is a Roman copy of a Greek original from the end of the 5th century BC, while the head portraying Cleopatra was a later addition. The statue, which apparently depicts Cleopatra VII, was allegedly found on the Via Cassia near the so-called "Tomba di Nerone." Its identification as Cleopatra VII, by virtue of the facial features, "melon" hairstyle, Hellenistic royal diadem, and similarity to her coinage portraits minted during her reign is outlined in the following sources:
