ROMAN MARBLE RELIEF WITH SOLDIER
ROMAN MARBLE RELIEF WITH SOLDIER
Item Details
Description
Ca. AD 100.
A beautiful relief carved marble panel featuring a helmeted soldier and robed man, both in profile with their heads to the right. The first man is slightly higher in placement, perhaps suggesting higher status, such as a general. His face is thin, consisting of an aquiline nose and short beard and curly coiffure. The top of his robe or toga is draped around his shoulders. Before him is the soldier with a curly beard who wears a crested helmet. Perhaps this scene depicted a procession or event marking a military triumph. The Romans developed new forms of public monuments to celebrate their military victories, including arches and columns. These architectural masterpieces have been found throughout the Roman empire and are often relief carved with Roman soldiers. This fragment may come from one such relief and is an impressive testament to Roman military and artistic achievements.
