EDITORS COMMENTS
This bust of Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, better known as Pompey the Great, is a testament to the military and political prowess of one of the most influential figures of the late Roman Republic. Born in 106 BC in Rome, Pompey rose to prominence through a series of impressive military campaigns, including the conquest of Spain and the defeat of the pirates in the Mediterranean. His political acumen was equally impressive, as he skillfully navigated the treacherous waters of Roman politics, forming alliances and making enemies in equal measure. The intricately carved marble bust, now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, captures the intense gaze and strong jawline of Pompey, reflecting the determination and charisma that made him a formidable leader. The inscription on the base identifies him as "Gnaeus Pompeius," further emphasizing the historical significance of this ancient artifact. Pompey's legacy extended beyond his military and political achievements, as he played a key role in shaping the cultural landscape of Rome. He brought back exotic treasures from his campaigns, including elephants and works of art, which he displayed in the city's public spaces. The bust in Copenhagen is a reminder of the rich history of Rome and the enduring influence of its most remarkable leaders. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, located in the heart of Copenhagen, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in ancient art and history. This world-renowned museum houses an impressive collection of sculptures, including this stunning bust of Pompey the Great. A visit to this museum offers a unique opportunity to connect with the past and gain a deeper appreciation for the art and culture of ancient Rome.
