EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning marble bust depicts Valerian, also known as Valerianus Aelius Publius Licinius Augustus, who ruled as Roman Emperor from 253 to 260 A.D. Valerian, often referred to as Valerian the Elder, is a prominent figure in ancient Roman history. His reign was marked by significant military campaigns against the Persians and the Sassanid Empire, as well as internal political challenges. The bust, which is currently housed in the Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, is believed to have originated from Asia Minor. It is a testament to the artistic skill of the Roman Empire during this period, with intricate details capturing the aging face and the regal expression of the emperor. Valerian's portrait showcases the Roman emperor's wisdom and authority, with his eyes gazing steadily forward, and his facial features displaying a sense of calm determination. The colossal statue from which this bust was taken is a lost masterpiece, but the surviving head provides a glimpse into the grandeur of Roman art and the legacy of Valerian's reign. The bust is a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the physical appearance and the character of one of the most important figures in Roman history. The Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen is home to an impressive collection of ancient art, and this bust of Valerian is a must-see for anyone interested in Roman history and ancient art.
