Summary

[edit]
Description

The algid features of the man depicted by this sculpture, portray the emperor Domitian in his early reign. The head is inserted in an ancient but no-pertinent bust decorated with a gorgoneion.

The hairstyle is in “Neronian style”. The hair strands are arranged in differently oriented crowns, and the curls create a semi-circle around his forehead and temples. This detail is remarkable and characteristic of his official portraiture because, as Nero had wanted, Domitian liked that his head appeared surrounded by a crown of curls in Hellenistic dynastic fashion. In this way he markied a reaction to the realism and the "bourgeois spirit" of paternal portraits
