Acquired in 1975
Marble, around 175 BC
The ruler's headband in his short hair and the exceptionally physiognomic features, matching those of the Seleucid king on coins, mean we can say for certain that this represents Antiochus IV of Syria (r. 175 - 164 BC). The smaller than life-size head was designed to be incorporated in a statue.
