Marble.
Ca. 40 BCE.
Inv. No. 719.
Copenhagen, New Carlsberg Glyptotek
(København, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek).
Origin:
Presumably from Frascati. Acquired in 1889 from Marinangeli in Rome, through the mediation of Helbig.
Description:
131. Roman
L. Curtius designated this older man with the lean and furrowed face as being Appius Claudius Pulcher (died in 48 B.C.) (RM 54 (1939) 128). As Schweitzer has indicated, there are certain similarities to the Caesar portrait. F. Poulsen considered the portrait to be antique, while V. Poulsen saw it as a forgery. But there is no reason for suspicion.
c. 40 B.C.
I. N. 719
