EDITORS COMMENTS
Emperor Severus Alexander: A Portrait of Power and Patronage from the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany This stunning bust, depicting the Roman Emperor Severus Alexander (208-235 AD), is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the ancient world. Hailing from the renowned Glyptothek in Munich, Germany, this third-century AD masterpiece showcases the imperial grandeur and sophistication of the Severan dynasty. Born in 222 AD, Severus Alexander was the last emperor of the Severan lineage, which began with Septimius Severus in 193 AD. During his reign, Alexander continued the dynasty's tradition of patronage of the arts and sciences, as well as military expansion. His rule extended from the easternmost reaches of the Roman Empire in Syria to the heart of Europe. The intricately carved marble bust reveals the imperial personage's youthful and thoughtful demeanor. The subtle details of the facial features, including the expressive eyes and the delicate contours of the nose, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the Roman sculptor. The bust also showcases the emperor's distinctive hairstyle, which was fashionable during the Severan era. As a patron of the arts, Severus Alexander continued the legacy of his predecessors, such as Marcus Aurelius and Augustus, who were also renowned for their support of artistic and cultural achievements. This bust, along with countless other masterpieces from the Glyptothek, stands as a reminder of the enduring influence of the Roman Empire on European and world history.
