Male head
1st century BC, reworked in the late 3rd - early 4th century AD
MArTA - Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Taranto
Taranto, Italy
The head has the typical features of third-century AD portraiture, with a beard and short hair, rendered with small indentations. The sculpture is the result of the reworking of an earlier portrait, possibly of the emperor Tiberius, to which the beard has been added.
