Roman statue from the Vatican Museums, the "So-called Lycurgus or Lysias"

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Statue in the Sala delle Muse in the Pius Clementinus Museum at the Vatican, the "So-called Lycurgus or Lysias". Lycurgus was the legendary lawgiver of Sparta, who lived around the late ninth century BC. Lysias was a famous orator at Athens in the late fifth and early fourth century BC. The statue dates to around AD 160 or 170, and was excavated at Tivoli (ancient Tibur) in Latium in the 1770s. It is unlabeled, except for a modern inscription dedicating it to Pope Pius VI ("Munificentia Pii Sexti P.M.") on the front of the base. The pedestal is an unrelated Roman grave marker, and reads: "L(ucio) Aemilio / L(uci) f(ilio) Gal(eria) / Nasoni Fabullino / tribuno laticlavio / leg(ionis) XX V(aleriae) V(ictricis) / triumviro capitali / d(ecreto) d(ecurionum) publ(ice)" (Lucius Aemilius Naso, son of Lucius, of the tribus Galeria, tribune laticlavius of the Twentieth Legion, triumvir capitalis, [this monument] decreed by the decurions on behalf of the state) (CIL VI, 29683). The monument is from Bovillae in Latium, and dates to the first half of the second century.
