General
The Midlands Historical Museum says that this is an unknown Roman general from the 2nd C. A.D.
I did some more research and found out that the statue is actually in the Terme Museum in Italy. It is bronze which accounts for the mostly intact spear.
I have a fascination with Greco and Roman art from the late B.C. period to the early A.D. period -- especially with statues. This one is exceptional.
ReplyDeleteI assume the rod he's holding is marble and it appears to have survived intact. Amazing!

DeleteAh, bronze! That makes sense.
