Marble. Late 1st century BCE — early 1st century CE.
Inv. No. MNC 1920 (Ma 1885).

Paris, Louvre Museum.

Origin:
Cherchell, Algeria (ancient Caesarea).

Italiano JUBA Ier
Roi de Maurétanie (accède au trône en 60 av. J.-C.).
Cherchel, Algérie (ancienne Caesarea).
Environs de l’ère chrétienne.

Le fait que ce portrait s’apparente à la représentation de Jupiter s’explique par la divinisation dont ce roi fut l’objet sous le règne de son fils Juba II.
