Description
The bust portrays a young emperor Commodus (AD 180-192) with a barbula (little beard), thick curly hair and bulging eyes, giving him his characteristic gaze. The sculptural type, of which there are numerous replicas including the example displayed here, was created at the beginning of Commodus's rule. This is dated after AD 180.
