| Description |
AD 59-68 (with later restorations). Marble. From Musei Capitolini, Rome. Famous for centuries, this is still the most-illustrated portrait of Nero. However, only a small part of the face with the forehead and eyes in ancient, and even this was re-carved into the likeness of a different emperor after Nero's death. The rest of the sculpture is a restoration from the 1660s, based on hostile accounts by ancient writers. It skilfully translates these texts into a compelling but misleading image of Nero as a voluptuous and cruel tyrant. Portraits from Nero's lifetime look very different. |
