Marble portrait bust of Perikles Roman, 2nd century ADSaid to be from Hadrian’s Villa at Tivoli, Lazio, Italy The British Museum “This is a Roman copy of an original portrait which was perhaps created in Perikles’ own day, or shortly after his death. However, it probably bears little physical resemblance to Perikles’ actual appearance, showing an ideal type of the mature soldier citizen, wearing a helmet pushed back on his head.”
