Charioteer
-
This fine bust represents a charioteer (auriga) as is evidenced by the tunic he wears, which has long sleeves and is held by fasciae attached behind the neck in a knot. More fasciae bound horizontally around the chest (not visible on this example) provided protection for the thoracic area. The charioteer is an adult male, his handsome face is smooth except for a few horizontal lines across his brow; the iris and pupils of his eyes are drilled and look to the right. His brows and mustache are lightly incised. His hair is short, cropped close to the head but lengthens over the temples and near the ears. The beard, absent on the upper cheeks and chin, is voluminous on the mandibles., Dates to c. mid-3rd century CE in the Gallienic period. It is not clear if this is an honorific portrait or if it was displayed in a public place. It was found in the foundations of Palazzo Teti in 1934., Balty, J-. C. “Style et Facture. Notes sur les portraits romains du IIIe siècle de notre ère,” RA, 1983, pp. 301-315.
