Description
The bust is thought to be of the Roman emperor Caligula. He ruled from 37 to 41 A.D. Another view is that it could be an image of his great grandfather, the emperor Augustus.
The breast plate has the terrifying face of the Gorgon, Medusa, in the centre. This image was believed to protect the emperor.
