About "Emperor Hadrian" artclone

The original of this artclone "Emperor Hadrian" is housed in the archaeological museum of Ostia Antica, a unique imperial portrait of the Roman Emperor who ruled from 117 to 138 AD. His reign is marked by a consolidation of the empire as Hadrian’s name endures in the stones of Hadrian's Wall, a monumental fortification that stretched across Roman Britain, which stands as a testament to the emperor’s defensive strategies.

The bust shows distinctive features of Roman portraiture from the Imperial period: a realistic depiction of facial features, with meticulous attention to detail in the hair and beard, indicating a move away from the idealized forms of earlier periods. Hadrian's beard and hairstyle are particularly notable; the beard is full and curly, reflecting fashion from his time, possibly influenced by his appreciation for Greek culture. His hair is thick and wavy, with individual curls carved around the forehead, which was a distinctive feature of Hadrian's portraits. Well-defined cheekbones, a straight nose, and a serious expression, convey the gravity and dignity of the emperor.

The bust should be displayed on a plinth or shelf where it can be viewed at eye level or slightly above, as this is how busts were traditionally viewed and it allows one to fully appreciate the details and craftsmanship.
