Rome's vocation was to absorb the legacy of foreign civilisations and imbue it with its own essence. This epiphany head with its even features, the knotted bandage at the nape of the neck, perhaps once decorated with silver inlays, and, as the traces testify, originally gilded lips, is an almost classical example of this: not an epigonal copy of a Greek model, but the artefact of an epoch that quite consciously revered the strict Attic harmony. Original: Staatliche Antikensammlungen und Glyptothek, Munich. Roman, from around the birth of Christ, based on a model from the 4th century BC.Bronze, with fine patina, cast using the lost wax technique. Height with base 33 cm.

This is how ambivalently he propagated himself: with a pointed, slightly twisted, juvenile face, narrow-lipped mouth, energetic forehead and idealised waves and with his noble composure derived from Etruscan portraiture - distanced from the political noise of the day and belonging to the Athenian-inspired images of the gods.

He thought as little of Athenian democracy as his opponent Cicero. Our portrait head shows the ambitious, literary-minded, brilliant organiser at the age of 20, when he was making great policy in the second triumvirate.

This torso from the MMA, New York, is one of the most beautiful surviving statues of gods from antiquity. It probably depicts Faunus, to whom a temple on the Tiber Island was dedicated together with Jupiter, the father of the gods, as early as 194 BC.
