EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Pericles of Athens: A Roman Copy of the Famous Greek Statesman's Bust from Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli, Italy" This image showcases a Roman copy of the bust of Pericles (495-429 BC), a renowned Greek statesman, orator, and general from Athens during the Golden Age of Ancient Greece. The bust, now housed at the British Museum in London, England, United Kingdom, is believed to have originated from Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli, Italy, during the 2nd AD. Pericles, a significant figure in Greek history, played a pivotal role in shaping Athens during the 5th century BC. He is best known for his political and military leadership during the city's Golden Age, which saw the construction of numerous iconic structures, including the Parthenon. The bust, carved from marble, depicts Pericles wearing a helmet, a common attribute of ancient Greek statues representing military leaders. The intricate details of the facial features, the noble expression, and the fine craftsmanship of the bust are testament to the exceptional skill of the Roman artisans who created this copy. The historical significance of this bust lies in its connection to Hadrian's Villa, a sprawling complex of villas, temples, and gardens that served as the Roman Emperor Hadrian's rural retreat. The presence of Greek art and artifacts in Hadrian's collection indicates his deep appreciation for the classical Greek culture, which was reflected in his patronage of the arts. Today, this Roman copy of Pericles' bust stands as a reminder of the enduring influence of Ancient Greek culture on the Roman Empire and the rich historical heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us. The bust is a must-see attraction for visitors to the British Museum, offering a glimpse into the political, cultural, and artistic achievements of the ancient world.
